...Oates, Updike, the late Bellow, Salter, Penelope Fitzgerald, Byatt, Mailer, Wintersen, Amis (blech), Self...
I don't like those much, either. (Double-blech on Amis; I had to read his backwards-narrated novel for a class. That Holocaust one. What a horrid little man.)
Have you read Antoine Volodine? Minor Angels. His books are out in translation (he's French) from U of Nebraska press. I am just reading him now; I'm quite amazed.
Other living authors I like: Steve Weiner, in particular The Museum of Love. He lives in Vancouver but I don't think he's published in Canada.
Hmmm, who else.
Brian Evenson, especially Contagion & the re-issued Altmann's Tongue.

Yeah, it's not that easy.
