I read Cloud Atlas and it was pretty decent. Not great but it had some interesting ideas and he's clearly a talented writer

I read Black Swan Green because someone recommended it and Mitchell might not be great but I'd hardly call him a hack.
Hemingway and Murakami.
OP's favorite author

He's better than most shit out there. It's not like he's shovelling YA at people he writes accessible books with recurring characters across them and interesting ideas. Not one of my favourite authors but definitely not a hack or mediocre
Dickens
Fitzgerald
King
Rowling
Green
Patterson
He is a copycat of better japanese fiction.

Yep. The thing is, he blatantly admits this. I think it was in his Paris Review interview where he outright states that in one novel he was outright trying to copy Murakami's style, he went on to even include references to Murakami directly in the novel.
