 Driftglass / Starshards (1993) Samuel R Delany "I consider Delany not only one of the most important speculative fiction writers of the present generation, but a fascinating writer in general who has invented a new style." |  The Lights of Alborada (2006) Gianni Riotta "Gianni Riotta is a born writer. His books are the stuff of contemporary life." |
