Maurice Sendak without question.
Dr. Suess, Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, James Michener, Ken Kesey, J.D. Salinger, Tom Wolfe. You'd have to have Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, and Shakespeare. Okay, there are way too many to list. I'll just stop before I get carried away.

If you mean whom would I add to a list already compiled by universal acclaim--I have just (thanks to a friend) started reading Neal Stephenson, and he's a contemporary I would add to the list of already acknowledged greats.
