If you could obtain the literary talent, skill, and experience of any one writer, so that you could write exactly on their level, who would you pick?

I choose Tolstoy.

Brandon Sanderson. Comfortable starting point with digestible content at a profitable place. It's only up from there. I would use this foot in the door to bring layers to popcorn fiction and lay the foundation for the next enlightenment.

Very based. Beautiful prose. The Deep and Engine summer were wonderful. Beasts was kind of a slog. Little big isn't my kind of book but I appreciate the style.

Hard choice between either Joyce or Dante. With Joyce I could write an entire novel in the style of the ALP chapter from Finnegans Wake; and with Dante I could use his talent to write the rise and fall of Gwyn from Dark Souls in perfect Terza Rima

i consider goethe superior to dante. virgil probably has a slight edge on goethe
