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.

    David Foster Wallace

    Stephen King

    Haruki Murakami

    Kurt Vonnegut

    Toni Morrison

    Just a few names that popped into my head

    Edit: some of these are based on popular opinions. For example, I never really got into Toni Morrison

      Vonnegut is wonderful but his first book is 1950s and his greatest success is likely the 1960s. Question asked post 1970.

        Yeah, I knew he started in the 50s. But you’re right, I looked it up and some of his notable stuff was earlier than I thought
