Vladimir Nabokov and Kurt Vonnegut are my favorites, but I would put William Faulkner, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway and Nabokov at the top of the greatest of all-time list. The order can be disputed.

I don't care for F. Scott Fitzgerald much.

I always feel (perhaps unfairly) that translated writing cannot properly capture the author's intent (unless the author was the translator, as was the case for some of Vladimir Nabokov's work). But if the language barrier is overlooked, you're right.

James Joyce. i think William Golding is sort of underrated. i don't know what this thread is about. i just want to mention lots of poets.
