When I was taking writing classes several decades ago, people like Joyce were considered like a baseline. If all else failed, just try writing like him. Ernest Hemingway and Raymond Carver were in the same category.
I've been going to a series of readings by the MFAs of the nearby university. It's amazing how they're mostly still writing in the same style. wtf is up with that.
