Who is the greatest living prose stylist (no Pynchon, Delillo, or other old lions)?
I'd also probably say Pynchon now that Toni Morrison is dead, but that's such an easy answer and one that's been given a million times before. I feel like younger, up-and-coming writers are sidelined whenever this question is asked just so the canon can be reemphasized.
Who are the greatest contemporary prose stylists who started writing in the 90s-now?
i'd probably say Colson Whitehead.
