Who is the world’s greatest living novelist?

Is there someone whose body of work overall elevates them to No. 1 on your list? Or is there someone who has that one perfect novel and it doesn't matter if the rest is dross?

My daughter would say Shelley Moore Thomas. I don't agree.

We'll be talking more about this on April 9. Our guests are John Freeman, editor of Granta, and Marjorie Kehe, Christian Science Monitor books editor.

What do you think?
