Rough Guide's "Cult Fiction: The Authors"

From the book "The Rough Guide to Cult Fiction":http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/226850, this is a list of authors who "have all, in their intriguing, surprising and often strange ways, contributed to [the] life force [of fiction]. Two of them – Arthur Rimbaud and Allen Ginsberg – are so cult they’re included even though they haven’t written any fiction."

This list is alphabetical by author, with all the books listed as "Essential Reading" for each.
