French: Duc de St. Simon

Joyce
Gass
Gaddis

Depends on the timeframe and the kind of writing, multiple names come to mind for German.

Goethe for sure, but later? Personally I'd say Kafka, although his mastery of the language is technical rather than strictly beautiful. ETA Hoffmann and Novalis are nice as well

Nietzsche.

>>9196403
>Italian
Galileo (seriously)
Casanova
Vasari
Calvino
Moravia

GTEng: Sam Johnson.
GTEng/comfy/: Jim Boswell.

Interesting comparing the two in their narratives of their Hebrides jaunt. Both supremely enjoyable, but each a stylist of an alien order.

Cervantes.
Arturo Pérez Reverte ---> hahahahaha. nah just kidding. he's complete crap.

correct use of the word is who in this case , because who is the subject , not the object (object form of who being whom) . nice meme though

If you're still here, any recs for a guy trying to get into Dansk literature?

English: Joyce I guess

Really? I'm halfway thru Vol. 1 and I like his writing, but I'm not amazed.

My vote goes to comfy Gore Vidal in his nonfic. He's witty and light, but cruel to his enemies.

Actually, it's a predicate placed at the beginning, but this doesn't save its being incorrect (the copula is what does this sentence in). One could write- Whom do you mean? and be correct, but not- Whom is that?
