In my opinion it can be none other than Stephen King. Just look at how many bestsellers he has and how many movies have been made about his books.

Stephen King would be classified under popular American Literature. Now I sound like a pedant. I am sorry. Have a great day.

I think this is a very difficult question to answer. My favourites are probably Emily Bronte and George Orwell. I also enjoy Ian McQewan and JK Rowling very much. I think the answer very much depends who you are and what your taste is.
