Okay, so I'm looking for a general discussion of fiction, and this
seemed to have been the first one on the list.  There were a few
newsgroups dedicated to single authors, but none of them wrote the book
that I finished last night.

Guy Gavriel Kay is a writer from Toronto, probably most known for his
Fionavar Tapestry series.  Since there were no messages here when I
subscribed, I can only wonder if anyone is even going to read this.
Regardless, I think what I am about to say should be said.

_A Song for Arbonne_ is classic Kay.  It's got all the elements of
Romance, War, History, and Love embedded in it to the hilt.  Has anyone
else read it?  I got a copy as soon as I could from the local library.
After I had read Kay's _Tigana_, I didn't expect to be disappointed by
his latest offering.

And I wasn't.  I don't know if anyone even knows about him or not.
There was some discussion about him on FidoNet, and he seemed pretty
well known.  Better than I expected, in fact.  But I still don't see him
getting the notoriety he deserves.  He's a fantasy writer of works very
uniquely his own.  But then, who am I to say how much he deserves?  I
just know that I haven't been disappointed yet by anything of his that
I've read.
