Maybe not the most discussed author on HN, but still thought I would post.
John Crowley was a rare breed among American writers in that he was an accomplished science fiction and fantasy writer who was also recognized by the mainstream establishment. Harold Bloom included Little, Big in his "The Western Canon", for example.
I've not read the later Crowley works, but The Deep, Engine Summer, and Little, Big are all among my favorite books.
