Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.

Neil Gaiman. The man can write novels, YA novels, graphic novels, children’s books. And they all have such well crafted worlds that you just want to lose yourself in them.

I also think Neal Stephenson and Corey Doctorow deserve WAY more attention than they get.

I’d second all three.

Neil Gaiman is absolutely one of my favorite authors and from what I’ve seen, a pretty great human being as well.

Absolutely. Anansi boys is my personal favorite of his, but I think highly of all his books.
