I actually think there is a rather large selection of wonderful Contemporary American writers. so I'll have to respectfully disagree with Wendybeth.
I highly recommend Ray Bradbury, Kelly Link, Aimee Bender, Paul Auster, Audrey Niffennegger, Craig Clevenger, Chuck Palahniuk, Shirley Jackson...just to name a few.

I was referring to the list printed in the OP. I love Shirley Jackson, Eudora Welty, Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, Tom Wolfe, Edgar Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, etc. I just thought the NPR list rather sucked- we are not putting out much great lit these past few decades.
Except here, of course.
