  1. the above mentioned book Bewilderment by #RichardPowers is a GEM.

    [i don't read [cis] male authors but bc of a very good reason - and for Powers the many reasons are be-au-ti-ful writing prose, excellent techie stuff, all the best and current nature as well as climate blisses - AND horrors!], marvelous info bits about astro and space science AND [!] genious capture of [male] emotions.]

    Also very much loved his book before this one, The Overstory.

  2. "Before the earth,

    before the moon,
    before the stars,

    before the sun,

    before the sky,
    even before the sea,

    there was only time and Ta'aroa.

    Ta'aroa made Ta'aroa. Then he made an egg that could house him."

  4. Trying to come up with a “favourite authors” list, as I’ve seen a few other people do. It’s tricky, because it changes all the time. But here’s a list of authors from whom any new release would be considered as a “must buy”.
