Dostoyevsky. His best is Brothers K for so many reasons but one that stands out is that it's a book where both Christ and the Devil make personal appearances and both depictions feel totally truthful and not a vain attempt at making the work seem deep like they would in a lesser author

I started reading it and it sounded so melodramatic and frankly, gay, as if written by ab emo. Will continue reading it and see if it gets better.

As much as I love Moby Dick, I haven't read enough of Melville's other works to choose him in good conscience, so I'll go with Kazuo Ishiguro because I've read all eight of his novels. As for his best work, I'm split between Remains of the Day (for its masterful unveiling of Stevens' thoughts under his stoic shell) and The Unconsoled (for its unsettling dream logic).
