(urth) This Week in Google Alerts: R.A. Lafferty

[Dave Lebling]

Powers is one of my favorite authors. He has a new book out, "Hide Me 
Among the Graves," which is a sequel to "The Stress of Her Regard," one 
of his best. (The other bests: "Declare" and "Last Call." "The Anubis 
Gates" is a near-best.)

I go along with the recommendations for Swanwick, Crowley, Vance, 
Shepard, Tiptree, Smith in-genre. Pynchon, Borges, Nabokov, and O'Brien 
should be read by any literate person, not just genre fans.
