Vladimir Nabokov is the most underrated writer of the 20th century. He was an intellectual giant and a highly regarded writer in Russian before he began writing in English. I vote for him. Joyce's use of the "psychological novel," with its stream of consciousness, also gets my vote. There is a caveat about Joyce, however. As a Jesuit, his work is rigidly derivative (Ulysses), highly scripted, with a morbid undertone. He secretly recorded people's conversation, using it in his work, much to their chagrin. Also, the whole of Moll Blooms soliloquy is completely different from the rest of the novel, both in tone and timbre; it somehow seems lifted.

AAARGH!!! That's hard!
OK-first half Steinbeck and Heinlein
second half Loren Estleman and Larry McMurtry
That's the best I can do-and I'm neglecting some pretty outstanding authors. My head may explode.
