Writers
Iain Banks is one of the most remarkable writers of cutting-edge science fiction.
Andre Norton made telepathy seem natural.
Stephen Erickson fantasy tells elaborate convoluted stories described in rich detail, a well-realized world.
China Meveille has the most incredible imagination of writers today, wide open.
Cormac McCarthy has a great gift for description; his emotional content is hard-to-take but is done superlatively; he can invoke and engage you with his characters on a deep emotional level.
Connie Willis, who writes about time travel, can pluck your heart strings and has a cinematic imagination.
Robert Silverberg, a Bay Area writer, is the most versatile master of science-fiction and fantasy genres of any that I have read.
Like thousands of other readers, I anxiously await the latest installment of George RR Martin's"Fire & Ice" series to find out what will happen to Tyrian Lanaster, John Snow, and Daenares.
