Barth gave to: The Etched City by K.J. Bishop (Goodreads Author) read in December, 2006	My rating:
Certainly in my top 100. Maybe in my top 50. K,J, Bishop turns wandering adventurers loose in a tweaked western/fantasy/utterly original setting. Borgesian story with muscle. I return to this one like a favorite beer.
