Michele Drier
It's hard to pull one out of the crowd. I love Lawrence Durrell for his voluptuous use of language. Umberto Eco for his richly layered plots. John Barth for his post-modernist wit. Kate Atkinson and Tana French for their character studies and internal dialogue.
But I'd have to say that my all-time favorite is Doris Lessing. Her Matty Quest series, her African stories, her ability to understand and relate madness and her use of language, vivid metaphor and simile is stunning.
