How depressing. This is not the decade to be male.

Raymond Carver a hundred times over. Amy Hempel maybe. Gordon Lish. Isaac Babel maybe. Chekhov not so much, but he's still got a very stripped down style and set a lot of groundwork for the rest of these guys.

Thanks friend, looking all these names up now.

Maupassant

I once read an essay about depressed female authors and how the the author herself loved them so dearly and tried to understand her place in the world of 'mad women authors' like Sylvia Plath, and her enduring love for Ophelia as the protagonist of Hamlet. If this does not sound bad enough she then said that she was confused why female suicide authors were treated so differently, after all Hemingway's suicide was barely a footnote in critique of his work. It is possibly the single greatest misunderstanding of an author I have ever read by someone not on /lit/.
