William Sanders
Journey to Fusang, The Wild Blue and the Grey, The Ballad of Billy Badass and The Rose of Turkestan, "J"
(Susan: A person kind of resents how good Sanders is at telling a story because no matter what one's skepticism about his subject matter or his politics (or his personality, which frequently leaves one at a loss for words) he absolutely gets you every time. This man is one of the premier storytellers of our age. I've never seen him bested for narrative bravura, not even by John Myers Myers, who kicks serious butt.)

Ray Vukcevitch
The Man of Half-a-Dozen Faces; Meet Me in the Moon Room
(Susan: Ray is an immensely engaging writer with the sort of take on life that could give "whimsy" a bad name, or at least a buzz cut and a pink leather motercycle jacket. I love everything I've ever read of his.)
