Heartbreaking Prose

In the fantasy genre, David’s latest find has been Catherynne M. Valente’s The Orphan’s Tales: In the Night Garden. Valente writes in glittering, magical prose and the stories she tells are wry, unique, and sometimes deeply profound. I read that she’s also managed to get short-listed for the World Fantasy Award this year, so congratulations are due.
