Recently, I read Robert Alter's "Pen of Iron", which is an analysis of the KJV Bible's influence on American prose writing in terms of style, syntax, and diction. The works it focused on were neo-Biblical works like "Moby-Dick" and McCarthy's works, but I'm interested in the prose styles of writers outside of the neo-Bibilical tradition. I was wondering if anyone can recommend me any books about prose analysis, especially maximalist writers like Pynchon.

Also general literary criticism and nonficiton recs welcome
