Authority and Acceptance are waiting for me back home so I think I , just like Fred, read them soon. This is kind of a Vandermeer year for me, City was something different but most of the "stories" were enjoyable (Dradin in Love is still my favourite) but Shriek was great, loved the double narration.</p>

Did all three novels really come out this year? Does that mean it's really one great honking novel chopped up into "SF" sized pieces (hmm, that sounds familiar.)<br>

I really enjoyed _City of Saints and Madmen_, but haven't read anything more by him. I'd love to hear what people think.<br>
