napalm-flavored chewing gum

Does anyone know any recent great novels by a female author? I love Jonathan Franzen, and I love (now) Dave Eggers, and I tried to love Elizabeth Wurtzel, but good God does she get tiring by the 300th page of self-pity. I would love to find a female author who can do the same type of stuff Franzen and Eggers can.

Anyone?
