In addition to kfl, i must mention two guys who are both dead, too.

Arno Schmidt ("Zettels Traum", "Schule der Atheisten", "Die 
Gelehrtenrepublik", "Kaff auch Mare Crisium"), the German James Joyce who 
translated Edgar Allan Poe and died 1979:
Uwe Johnson ("Jahrestage") who died 1982 as a red wine alcoholic, came from 
the GDR, lived in the sixties in NYC, later in England;
contemporary authors? Silence in the forest... perhaps som guys from the 
Prenzlauer Berg, and Goetz, as kfl said...
Kurt-Werner Pörtner
