if the "best" is determined by the most widely disseminated, easiest to translate and still carry forward the writer's message and ideas, then I think Vonnegut and his spare prose could be considered among the greatest of 20th century.
If "best" means the best use of the English language, then Joyce would have to be right up there as the best. He created as much language as Shakespeare
It is hard to determine such a thing.
