Big fat modernists like Joyce, Gaddis and Beckett, slim dirty realists like Ford, Wolff, Welty, McCullers and Carver, Australians like Tim Winton, Alexis Wright and Henry Handel Richardson, Brits like Hanif Kureishi and George Eliot, Irish writers like Joyce, Beckett and Colm Toibin. And poets. A few of them too.
