what a great list! yoo r a man after mi own heart. i LOVE elizabeth taylor. and, yeah, except for the movie coming out, i can't remember hearing her mentioned much at all. at least in the states.
did anyone mention barbara pym?
James, have you read The Man Who Loved Children by Christina Stead? What a strange strange book. And so epic! I need to read more by her.
This thread is where i live. Most of my fave writers are 20th century wimminz.
Did anyone mention Annie Dillard? Or Ann Beattie? Or Anne Tyler? All the Anns really.

What's Tillie Olsen like? I recently went on a 2nd-hand book-buying binge, but had already exceeded my budget when I came a cross an interesting-looking old Virago collection by her ('Tell Me A Riddle', I think it was called). Should I have bought it?

i keep forgetting that the person who started this thread said LATE 20th century. oh well.
i love thea astley. she should be a lot better known. you could say that about a lot of people though. janet frame is a god to me and i don't know many people who have read her books.

Angela Carter?

Name, Angela Carter is on my reading list this year. England seems to produce a lot of great weird fantasy/fantastical authors.
