I love John Steinbeck. He’s a great storyteller with a very accessible but still compelling prose style. But for me it goes to James Baldwin or Toni Morrison. Toni has my heart, it feels like such a next level experience to hear her narration as well, transcendent.

are they truly the greatest or is it this more recency and availability bias?

I love Steinbeck and Grapes of wrath inspired my moral values but I can’t put him above Michener, Clavell, Leon Uris, and Margaret Mitchell as well as Toni Morrison, etc.

It's Baldwin, Steinbeck is probably second.

American Radass :
As a mechanic who didn’t finish high school I agree completely. Lol. Love me some Hemingway, Vonnegut, and Bukowski but Steinbeck is the goat

I absolutely love Steinbeck, but I would say it goes to Poe, Baldwin, Morrison, Faulkner and I think someone could even make a strong argument for King

John Steinbeck is the only answer. He is the Bruce Springsteen of American authors.

Erik Hurt :
for me its Faulkner because he had an incredible formal mastery and was also at the cutting edge of experimentation. You read As I Lay Dying or The Sound and the Fury and it gets transcendent but its never as obtuse or inaccessible as Joyce, or Woolf, or Wallace. The Quentin Compson section of The Sound and the Fury is the peak of that and I think that section is probably the greatest thing ever written
