Ursula K. Le Guin (2008) by Sylvia Kelso
80! (2010) by Karen Joy Fowler and Debbie Notkin
Ursula K Le Guin recommends
The First Men in the Moon (1901)
H G Wells
"Why do people read science fiction? In hopes of receiving such writing as this - a ravishingly accurate vision of things unseen; an utterly unexpected yet necessary beauty."
The Man Who Japed (1956)
Philip K Dick
"Dick is entertaining us about reality and madness, time and death, sin and salvation ... We have our homegrown Borges."
Camp Concentration (1968)
Thomas M Disch
"A brilliant piece of science fiction..-It is a work of art and if you read it, you will be changed."
Hard To Be a God (1973)
(Noon Universe)
Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky
"This is a thoroughly good book...robust, imaginative, satisfying..."
Little, Big (1981)
John Crowley
". . . a book that all by itself calls for a redefinition of fantasy. . ."
Terrarium (1985)
Scott Russell Sanders
"A keen eye, a sensuous and exact imagination, and a bouyant spirit."
In the Light of Sigma Draconis (1992)
(Woman of the Iron People, book 1)
Eleanor Arnason
"Fascinating... Very wise and funny... Full of complicated and irresistible people, some of them human."
Ammonite (1992)
Nicola Griffith
"A knock-out first novel, with strong, likeable characters, a compelling story, and a very interesting take on gender."
Travellers In Magic (1994)
Lisa Goldstein
"Told in a quiet, easy tone, these stories carry a powerful emotional charge. They leave one with a sense of strangeness and completion of real travel of real magic."
The Dragon Path (1995)
Kenneth Morris
"An important, innovative fantasist, worthy to rank with MacDonald, Edison, and Tolkien."
Resurrection Man (1995)
Sean Stewart
"A mmody, quirky, fascinating fantasy. Sean Stewart definitely follows his own drummer."
The Dazzle of Day (1997)
Molly Gloss
"This miraculous fusion of meticulous 'hard' science fiction with amazing realism and keen pschology creates a vast, bleak, beautiful vision of the human future - a triumph of the imagination."
Flesh and Gold (1998)
(Flesh and Gold, book 1)
Phyllis Gotlieb
"Sex, violence, intricate plotting, light-speed pacing, an amazing variety of aliens, touches of Philip K Dick's sardonic humor, and Cordwainer Smith's obstinate idealism make this novel dazzling."
Dark the Night, Wild the Sea (1999)
Robert McAfee Brown
"...If you believe in love beyond death, this book is for you."
Making A Literary Life (2002)
Carolyn See
"If everyone who wants to be a writer would read this book there would be many more good writers, many more happy writers, and editors would be so overwhelmed by sweetness they would accept many more good books. So what are you waiting for? Read it!"
Polyphony 1 (2002)
(Polyphony, book 1)
Jay Lake and Deborah Layne

These seventeen achingly funny and hilariously sad stories will give you invaluable advice on how to love, how to be crazy, how to be human."
