If you want to try her again, and haven't read it, try DEATH QUALIFIED, the first of what has subsequently been a rather more conventional (and impressive) series of legal procedurals, but this first one is as much a bravura straddler of different approaches to fiction as anything she's written. CITY OF CAIN is another fine example form before HUYSMAN'S and DQ.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-4102948993782312192011-05-27T23:45:14.430+09:302011-05-27T23:45:14.430+09:30Kate Wilhelm's books are all worth reading.

I must admit this probably wouldn't be something I'd read, but it is so interesting to see what people read at different times in their lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
