It's a big call, Mr Bandit, but you may just be right. And bear in mind that Joyce, by his own admission, couldn't spin a yarn to save his life. His novels are meticulous reworkings of his own personal experiences; that's why after "Ulysses" he had nowhere to go but the subconscious nightworld of "Finnegans Wake". Proust, too, mined his own life and thought-world as the basis for his novel. Faulkner was not just a great stylist, but an incredibly fecund storyteller as well.

the greatest writer since Shakespeare, maybe only Joyce can be on his level

Fun fact: When William Faulkner gave this speach, most of the audience members could not understand him due to his "deep southern accent", and it was only until the very next day when it was printed in the papers that they could understand it.
