    An excellent question.

    In personal writing I am Sternian (Shandyan, Tristramian). My work emails are Conradian. My public writing is Trollopian.

    All my writing is, of course, Roamerian.

    The writer most important to me is Thomas Mann, but I absolutely don't write like him. One does not mimic the Gods.

    I almost ticked Proustian for myself, but Conradian would be closer to the mark. The text presents a concrete event, describes selected elements of it in ptecise detail, then flies off into some loosely connected high-level abstractionsnand moral msxims, then returns to the plot in its everyday concreteness. My emails at work are Conradian.
