Connie Willis recommends
Carmen Dog (1988)
Carol Emshwiller
"Only (Emshwiller) could have taken the women's movement, opera, and a wolverine and come up with such enchantment."
Soulsaver (2000)
James Stevens-Arce
"A frightening, funny future full of religion, politics, TV, and even the occasional miracle. It's an intelligent, inventive, fascinating book."
Bad Timing (2001)
Molly Brown
"Watch out! Molly Brown's Bad Timing And Other Stories is not so much a short story collection as an explosion of parallel universes and provocative ideas! Wow!"
Roma Eterna (2003)
Robert Silverberg
"Everything Robert Silverberg writes is wonderful... His gift for storytelling, his knowledge of the human condition, his smooth-as-silk writing style, and, above all, his soaring intelligence..."
Pit Planet (2003)
David Dvorkin
"In his lively new novel, Pit Planet, David Dvorkin takes us on a headlong trip not only between planets, but over, under, and through worlds of greed, sex, politics, intrigue, and adventure, of miners and mindpickers, cavesnakes and triple-crossers. Pit Planet is an absorbing mix of hard science and action sf, with the unmistakable Dvorkin touch."
The Pixel Eye (2003)
(Dr Phil D'Amato, book 3)
Paul Levinson
"Forensic detective Phil D'Amato is one of my favorite characters."
A Shadow in Summer (2006)
(Long Price Quartet, book 1)
Daniel Abraham
"Reader, be warned: If you open Daniel Abraham's A Shadow in Summer, he will lead you into a strange, seductive world of beatings and poets and betrayals, intrigues you do not fully understand and wars you cannot stop and places you are not sure you want to go. Intricate, elegant, and almost hypnotically told, this tale of gods held captive will hold you captive, too."
The First Law of Thermodynamics (2021)
James Patrick Kelly
"He changes our attitudes and our perceptions and even our understanding of what the short story can be, and he does it in stories which are disturbing, clever, affecting, funny and unique in every sense of the word."
