In his book Immortality Milan Kundera mentions that Robert Musil died while lifting weights. I remember Kundera being very popular in the early 90's, partially because the firm The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I haven't heard much of him lately -- neither about Michel Tournier, another author who was very popular about the same time.
To be a bit rude, maybe both Kundera and Tournier should have stopped writing earlier. Kundera's Unbearable Lightness was great (though many women that I know think he is unfairly chauvinistic), so was Tournier's The Erl-King.
As far as I know, Andre Brink wrote his most memorable books (An Instant in the Wind, Dry White Season) in the 1980's and I don't remeber hearing much of his later books.
