Who is it? Why?
Growing up my dad and grandfather were huge post-modern fans. My dad used to take me to used book stores and my grandfather to countless poetry readings. Don't know how it started, but I became a huge Eli Siegel fan. I can't even begin to count how many afternoons I lost to an inspired rereading of "Hot Afternoons Have Been in Montana," and I even got my hands on a first edition critical consideration of "The Turn of the Screw." He's the only aesthete to this day that I payed attention to no matter what he wrote. And when he was laying bare his principles of Aesthetic Realism I still rooted for him when he pilloried the motivations of modern economics.

It's nice that this style of RMing has gone away.
