Closed the tab when I saw Brecht's name. Fuckin' hack. Also, you left out some of the most bets modernist writers, you fucking pleb.

McHale, Brian. Postmodernist Fiction. London: Routledge, 1987 and "Constructing Postmodernism" New York: Routledge, 1992.

Along with Beckett and Borges, a commonly cited transitional figure is Vladimir Nabokov; like Beckett and Borges, Nabokov started publishing before the beginning of postmodernity (1926 in Russian, 1941 in English). Though his most famous novel, Lolita (1955), could be considered a modernist or a postmodernist novel, his later work (specifically Pale Fire in 1962 and Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle in 1969) are more clearly postmodern, see Brian McHale.

I voted for: Proust, Pound, Joyce, Eliot, and Beckett. Some of your options weren't really modernists at all, even though they were writing at overlapping times.
