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.
