Well, that's a tall order, but here's a try:
J.D. Salinger : For the truth.
Katherine Mansfield : For the mystery.
Vladimir Nabokov : For the artistry.
Shakespeare : For the humanity.
There are others, but sometimes it is difficult to separate the writer from
the writing. I love Nabokov's work without ever loving Nabokov. Whereas I
think I like the idea of Christina Rossetti more than I like her poetry
(with a few very notable exceptions. Something like `Echo' makes her a truly
lovable poet).
