Gass, McCarthy, and Pynchon are not modern writers. The modern writer with the best prose is James Joyce, bar none. Illiterates disagree.

I like Coetzee. It's very simple but also very calculated and powerful. McCarthy is great, obviously. Carpentier. Nabokov. Saramago. Kundera. Bellow. Rushdie. There are tons.

it's all the rage on /lit/ these days. I think the leddit posters are looking for a new way to be pedantic.
