Which modern writers do you think have the most beautiful prose? Gass? YeCarthy? Pinecone? Drop some names for me, boys.

Gass, McCarthy, and Pynchon are not modern writers. The modern writer with the best prose is James Joyce, bar none. Illiterates disagree.

I think you mean Modernist. Don't play ignorant, it is obvious what OP means
I like Coetzee. It's very simple but also very calculated and powerful. McCarthy is great, obviously. Carpentier. Nabokov. Saramago. Kundera. Bellow. Rushdie. There are tons.
