From the Introduction to the 10th Anniversary Edition of American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. William Morrow Paperbacks: 2013.
I once heard Michael Swanwick say that he was the best writer in the room, except for Gene Wolfe, which made me go read Wolfe. GW is one of the most imaginative writers in the world - can make one line hint at a universe, something most writers are too afraid to do, too afraid to lose that one thing, that could be its own book, as opposed to populating their current world with as much creativity as possible.
