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.

I have not read The Expanse yet, but it looks like a good series!

Its absolutely incredible IMO. Was hoping you had to compare it. Guess I’ll just have for ead other land and decide for myself. What a shame lol.

I have read the first book of the Expanse. I liked it but didn’t find any connection to Murakami, perhaps in later novels?

I have no idea what you’ve just said

I have read the first book of The Expanse, known as Leviathan Wakes. While reading it, I did not discover any connections to Haruki Murakami insofar as the writing nor the way he works a metaphor. I liked reading Murakami a lot; The Expanse not as much. But perhaps in later novels of The Expanse I shall?
