James Hilton comes to mind. Nevil Shute as well.

Also a lot of the post-war authors who are fading more and more each year. John O'Hara, John Updike, Norman Mailer, Saul Bellow. They used to be almost omnipresent during their time, but they've all fallen to the wayside.

All of these authors are well-recognized. And that's not a controversial take. Suggesting that Gogol is better than Pushkin would just make you look like a babbling retard.
An author who actually fits the chart is Vasily Grossman, check out Stalingrad and Life & Fate.

Funny you should say that.
I finish probably 99% of the books I start, it is a thing of principal.
However, I tried Life and Fate twice and had to stop both times. I found it terrible the dry, the characters uninteresting, the plot intractable, the pacing terrible. I made it maybe 150 pages each time, and I really wanted to finish it, but damn I just could not get into it, and that never happens.

No. Georg Trakt was by far a stronger poet than Georg Heym.

Heym's expressionist poems on the city are read by every abiturient in the German gymnasium: brilliant poems but why did he write sonnets? His use of language is much more conventional than Trakl's

m8 Heym's city poetry is his warm-up that he does while taking a shit and it's almost as good as Trakl's. But read Heym's Infernalisches Abendmahl or Wolken and Trakl has nothing that comes close.
Yeah, Trakl has a very recognizable style. But in terms of verbal force, Heym beats him easily. Heym is the expressionist top tier, a step above the likes of van Hoddis, Trakl and the often underrated Lichtenstein.

Gottfried Benn needs not apply btw.

I dislike the meter in Grodek, though Trakl is very much capable of writing in meter so I will not hold this against him. Trakl's De Profundis is just barely the best expressionistic poem called De Profundis. I almost prefer Fanz Werfel here.
I generally do not dislike Trakl. I just don't think he reaches what Heym was capable of at his peak.

About van Hoddis, yeah, he will always be measured by his poster child Weltende, but he is actually one of the most versatile of the German expresisonists. Favourites that immediately come to mind are Die Wolken winden sich wie Leinentuch and, I think his best work, Nachtgesang.
Some other great Expressionist poems I always have in my ear are Lörke's Die Ebene and Gustav Sack's Gott. Really, German Expressionism is just such a fantastic epoch full of many gems. I discover something new whenever I open up a collection of it.

I have not read enough of Celan so I will not make a judgement here. I consider Rilke widely overrated though, I feel like a lot of his stuff is just Schönschreiberei. What should I read of him to convenice me otherwise?
