Bonus points for any books you believe are classics from that time period. Any language, but only fiction please.

I'm really excited to see what Lemmy has.

    aside from some of the more obvious choices (rushdie, wallace, mccarthy, morrison):

    don delillo, esp. underworld and white noise

    ted chiang, esp. exhalation

    marilyn robinson, esp. housekeeping

    denis johnson, esp. jesus' son and tree of smoke

    colson whitehead, esp. the intuitionist and the nickel boys

    and while relatively new so maybe not at the same status as some other writers, jamil jan kochai and nana kwame adjei-brenyah will be making lists like these in the future if they keep writing the way they have.
