My three would be:

John Crowley - Little, Big.
Ursula K. LeGuin - Tehanu
George Alec Effinger - When Gravity Fails

Although they weren't my top favorites I would give special mention for literary skill to:

Mikhail Bulgakov - The Master and Marguerita
Michel Houellebecq - Atomized (The Elementary Particles)

Rhonda - Although I didn't read the three you mentioned for the challenge they would have been among my favorites too except for the KSR. I thought it was great up until the ending which seemed rather slapdash. I'm not a great fan of KSR but I would rate "Years" to be his best of those I have read.
