I have read some...Thank you for sharing that list!<br /><br />I have read some of these authors. [William Burroughs, Raymond Chandler, Thomas Disch, Maureeen McHugh, Cormac McCarthy, Flannery O'Connor].<br /><br />Others are on my list of authors to read. [John Crowley, Coetzee, Priest, Scholz, Vandermeer].<br /><br />Still others I hadn't heard of and I will do a little research on them :-)<br /><br />Within SF, of course, there are writers to tend more toward the "literary" end of the spectrum; some of them are on your list. There are many others that aren't...<br /><br />I've read some of the stories in The New Space Opera and plan on doing the same with volume 2. Again, these anthologies contain very diverse authors, some of which I think you'd like (e.g. John Kessel, Ian McDonald, Robert Reed, Kage Baker, Ken Macleod, Mary Rosenblum, Jay Lake and more.)Alvaro Zinos-Amarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807685475596094127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083333025577973310.post-10897637704321628132009-11-14T14:46:56.509-08:002009-11-14T14:46:56.509-08:00It's a bit sad, but I basically can't read...It's a bit sad, but I basically can't read SF anymore. I was in a bookstore yesterday and they had an anthology called The New Space Opera, and they had a 2 for 1 detail with The New Space Opera 2 or something. Did I even pick the book up? Nope.<br /><br />I've got a list of 25 writers of interest at the moment, and only a handful of them are associated with SF. See if you've read any of these writers:<br /><br />Pat Barker (Regeneration trilogy)<br />Andrea Barrett<br />William Burroughs Jr (died young)<br />Larry Brown<br />Raymond Chandler<br />Harry Crews<br />John Crowley (still to read Aegypt cycle)<br />J M Coetzee<br />Thomas Disch (his later work - Wall of America was excellent)<br />Alasdair Gray (Lanark)<br />Brion Gysin<br />Ha Jin<br />Ma Jian<br />Ken Kalfus<br />Maureen McHugh (a SF writer I like very much - want to read Nekropolis and her short stories)<br />Andrew McGahan<br />David Mitchell<br />Cormac McCarthy (what to read next after The Road?)<br />Flannery O'Connor<br />Christoper Priest (got all but The Seperation)<br />Carter Scholz<br />Jeff Vandermeer (Finch is out)<br />Alan Warner<br />XinranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
