Rosa is obviously more comparable to Joyce and Proust, because he's a modernist par excellence. And he is also incredible, certainly one of the great modernists. But I believe the depth of Machado's achievement make him a titan, something I can only call him and those ones I mentioned, plus Kafka and maybe others I'm yet to read (that's as far as fiction goes, I would make a separate list for poets, which would include João Cabral de Melo Neto and Pessoa). Although Rosa, for me, isn't quite on that level, he's among the best latin-american authors and probably the best prose stylist in Portuguese along with Machado.

He may have been born in Portugal, but his literature belongs to the Brazilian canon.
