Curiousity like a nun or a negress or a girl with glasses

Sooooo, my grasp on the term "modernist" wasn't too firm and now I have two days to write a paper on a modernist writer that's not Cather, Fitzgerald, Dos Passos, Steinbeck, Hemingway, or Faulkner. PREFERABLY a book I've already read, which is unlikely, because I seem to like post-modern or much older fare.

Crap. Any suggestions? I can't find a really thorough list on the interwebs.

ALSO, Brownie is coming to speak on Wednesday and I'm skipping class to ask the fucker a question. I hope I phrase it better than, "How the fuck do you sleep at night?"
