Well, I said it was my "short list." Where Yeats is concerned, I am not sure his influence extended beyond the English-speaking world, so he would not fit my "internationally influential" criterion. As for Mann, I am still not convinced he was that influential, as distinct from great(which he surely was). Who followed in his footsteps, for example? Whose thinking did he profoundly change? Bear in mind, this is one writer I would love to have on my list, so I am ready to be convinced! Joan P.S. Don't read The Master and Margarita sometime, Neo! Read it now! And it will be right up your alley -- trust me!! Another one of my all-time favorite 20th century novels is Alain-Fournier's Le Grand Meaulnes (originally translated as The Wanderer). A unique and totally magical book. It's enchanting -- especially for younger readers, I would guess. The author himself died very, very young -- killed in the First World War, boo hoo! Try it, if you haven't already.
