I also really enjoyed
Notes from Underground. Maybe I should check out Nabokov since you are such a big advocate!
These days it's all about Paula Vogel, Bev Marshall, and Yusef Komunyakaa for me, though I shouldn't lump all three together because one is playwright, one a novelist, and the other a poet, respectively. I'm really getting into Jose Saramago, too.
I noticed that at least one person mentioned Evelyn Waugh. Maybe he's quite good, it's just that I was forced to read
Vile Bodies in one of my undergraduate classes and I thought it was just tripe. Aren't other novels of his considered to be better?
