Leee, you appear to be omitting William Gaddis. William Gass / William Gaddis conflation was already an in-joke in 1992 (when Gass playfully poked fun at the conflation).
I can see why; they were operating in similar literary spaces.
Not true of Stegner (a Western voice) or Styron (a Southern voice, almost as Southern as Faulkner).
To be honest I spent so much time with these guys... I kinda wish I had been doing something else. Like, almost anything else.
Pointless anecdote: On my last day of college I happened to get into an an elevator with my favorite professor. I told him about what I was interested in doing for graduate school. He said, "That's a very crowded field. You should be doing Anglo-Saxon."
― Hereward the Woke (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 23 September 2023 15:19 (yesterday) link
As a westerner, I find Stegner to be one of the west's most authentic voices.

Jimbeaux, do you have Cormac McCarthy ist opinions?
― Hereward the Woke (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 23 September 2023 16:45 (yesterday) link
I loved Suttree (which is of course much more Southern than Western), liked All the Pretty Horses, and couldn't make it through The Crossing. That is the extent of my encounters with McCarthy. My brother (who gave me the Border Trilogy) adores him.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 23 September 2023 16:47 (yesterday) link
Suttree stays in my mind almost constantly, but yeah you are right. It's a Southern novel.
Personally I was born in Missouri and live in Virginia so can really only understand Midwestern, Southern, and Eastern vibes. The American West is a mystery to me so Stegner is not really on my radar screen.
