I also recommend Paul Park, Kelly Link, and Robert Aickman, who share many<br>
of Wolfe's best qualities, and John Crowley, who isn't much like Wolfe but<br>
is equally good. <br>

Where should I start?<br><br>Re: Link - Saw her at a really small bookstore signing once. I would have bought one of her books, but the only one they had on sale was Magic for Beginners, which I already owned. I didn't quite work up the courage to talk to her, but she seemed really cool and approachable. After the signing, authors and attendees were all invited to the bar next door for a free drink, but I opted out, not being 21. Curse those US drinking laws. And that's my mostly irrelevant anecdote. In any case, I think Link's quite good, though I don't see her becoming one of my absolute favorite writers.<br>
<br>She's actually released her entire first collection for free online. Probably a good introduction to her work?<br><a href="http://www.lcrw.net/kellylink/sth/">http://www.lcrw.net/kellylink/sth/</a><br><br>Perhaps we Wolfe fans should put together a list of other worthwhile science fiction / fantasy writers? I know a few of the people on the thread have a list already.<br>
