Samuel R Delany recommends
Tiny Arrows (2022)
Rhys Hughes
"If I said he was a Welsh writer who writes as though he has gone to school with the best writing from all over the world, I wonder if my compliment would just sound provincial. Hughes' style, with all that means, is among the most beautiful I've encountered in several years."
The Mere Wife (2018)
Maria Dahvana Headley
"Maria Dahvana Headley writes with crackling headlong sentences that range among old plots and news observations about a world that earlier today seemed too familiar. Master story teller, brilliant stylist, a writer with this sort of command of language is a delight to read. Here's a book to call up an old story in the newest possible way."
Alanya to Alanya (2005)
(Marq'ssan Cycle, book 1)
L Timmel Duchamp
"[Duchamp] is simply and unarguably among the best."
