I can think of as having much to say in the "profundity"
department are Edgar Allan Poe, Faulkner, Ezra Pound
and Flannery O'Conner, and one of those was a
wanna-be Frenchman.
I'll agree with Faulkner and O'Connor. Poe was nice when I was a teenager and Pound I never got.
I would also nominate: Herman Melville, Edith Wharton, Gore Vidal, William S. Burroughs, James Baldwin, Thomas Pynchon, Willa Cather, Ralph Ellison, John Cheever, Thomas Berger, and William James.
