Favourite living writers who are under the age of 65?

I like David Mitchell, myself.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 6 09:36:33 2016 No.7892579 David Mitchell is my favorite author. Every one of his books was truly a great read EXCEPT Slade House, could not relate to coming of age british people in the 80s

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 6 09:59:27 2016 No.7892620 I've heard a few things about him but I'm afraid that I have no idea where to start. I don't think starting with Cloud Atlas would be a good place to begin.

I have to say Jonathan Franzen. As far as I'm concerned he is deserving of the hype that has surrounded him. The Corrections and Freedom were both revelatory, and Purity, which I'm currently about halfway through, is looking to be yet another powerhouse. I have yet to explore his earlier works.
