crane, faulkner, nabakov? im interested in the stylistic, high language (perhaps for faulkner this wouldnt apply)... basically im trying to find who did the most with the language, im not interested those who employ the more prosaic which is in service to plot

Nabokov for sure, Lolita, Pale Fire, Ada at minimum. McCarthy's Blood Meridian & Suttree. Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun tetralogy I highly recommend.

Definitely applies to Faulkner, whose language is very High. Logo doesn't like Faulkner for reasons i don't totally understand but Faulkner's excellent (if sometimes hackish). Read at least As I Lay Dying, Absalom Absalom, and The Sound and the Fury.

I mean i do know why it's bc logo doesn't like the South and Faulkner can sometimes come off like a sentimental agrarian. But he's not and that's not a good reason
