quote:
My list for the best (or at least my favorites) would be:
Hemingway
Melville
Kerouac
Twain
Fitzgerald
Mailer
Hawthorne
Add Vonnegut, Burroughs, Faulkner, Wallace (David Foster), Poe, Steinbeck, Williams (Tennessee), and Whitman to your list of *NEED TO READ; AMERICAN AUTHORS*
Capote gets no love.
And to the OP:
“Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.”
? Ernest Hemingway

I'm more into the content than the wording, but that boils down to people's preferences.
A friend of mine melts over some of Faulkner's writing. I don't think he was doing it wrong; I just think he appeals to certain types of people.
