aside from some of the more obvious choices (rushdie, wallace, mccarthy, morrison):
don delillo, esp. underworld and white noise
ted chiang, esp. exhalation
marilyn robinson, esp. housekeeping
denis johnson, esp. jesus' son and tree of smoke
colson whitehead, esp. the intuitionist and the nickel boys

Add two line breaks to force a new line
Like this, so your list is easier to parse
