I thought "Beloved" was too self-consciously trying to be "literature." Annoyed me greatly.
Ray Bradbury is amazing. Just amazing. One of my newest favorite contemporary American authors is Tananarive Due. Although I've only read one work of hers so far, so I don't know if that really counts. No James Tiptree, Jr., on the list either, although I think her best work was before their cut-off anyhow so I'm not surprised.
In general, though, I've not been a huge American lit fan.
