Anna Komene, because shes unapologetically biased and sometimes tries very hard to hide her opinion of someone, without success.

One of the finest novelists ever, and I'll hear no arguments to the contrary. Even Nabokov agreed, as much as he hated to do it.

She's basically using the principles of Disney animation IRL. I don't know if she's doing random gestures or actually playing a character, but look at how a Disney character moves and you'll see this, especially that bounce that is used to give spring to actions. It's not implausible that she's lifting bits of animation from pencil tests.
Do people actually like this? It's uncanny as hell to look at, not in a funny or nice way.

Penelope Fitzgerald. I don't really like Austen - who does psychology fine and develops themes, but - fuck - I just don't find remotely funny. Which is a problem when she's writing comedy.

Fiztgerald on the other hand developed seamlessly from being actually funny to being a demigod.

Her whole shtick is humble bragging and playing historian, but sometimes the person in question is so 'objectively wicked' that her opinion becomes fact by divine right. Not even joking. Her account of the crusaders goes from baby eating barbarians to fair almost greek tier heros.
The book is of course a mix between propoganda for her coup and a genuine attempt at writing a history book. Though her imperial and orthodox world view is inseparable.
