Fitzgerald's style is a pretty linear development out of early Joyce, say Dubliners and the first episodes of Ulysses. It compares to Woolf and McCarthy just fine.

Your list reminds me of a joke from Fitzgerald's first novel, This Side of Paradise:

  So
  Walter Arensberg,
  Alfred Kreymborg,
  Carl Sandburg,
  Louis Untermeyer,
  Eunice Tietjens,
  Clara Shanafelt,
  James Oppenheim,
  Maxwell Bodenheim,
  Richard Glaenzer,
  Scharmel Iris,
  Conrad Aiken,
  I place your names here
  So that you may live
  If only as names,
  Sinuous, mauve-colored names,
  In the Juvenalia
  Of my collected editions.
