Daniel Rabuzzi
I don't read any blogs regularly (like you hadn't guessed that!), not even my LJ FList . . . but I'd be a fool not to check my RSS feed of Small Beer Press's Not a Journal on occasion. (They are, after all, my publisher - and the publisher of many great interstitial artists). There I found an interview with our new NYC friend Daniel Rabuzzi (who's just joined the IAF Working Group), talking about his influences for his new novel, The Choir Boats. (Full disclosure: I bought a copy at the Montreal Worldcon pub party, but haven't read it yet. Paul Witcover gave it a great review, though!)
I was tickled to death to find myself in a list of his favorite writers - especially as it came at the end, after faves of my own like Austen, Dickens, Le Guin, P. Dickinson, T. Goss, S. Clarke ... (just when I had begun to despair) - in the same sentence as Greer Gilman, as "the pioneers here, their wordplay (simultaneously lush and incisive) an inspiration to the most recent cohort. " Gosh. Cool.
