Also just finished _The Corrections_ by Jonathan Franzen, which was very engrossing (and often hilarious). I got Ursula LeGuin’s _Lavinia_ for my birthday and am enjoying it.

But _Fledgling_ really got to me. Also, you might check out Nalo Hopkinson, A Canadian speculative fiction writer. _Brown Girl in the Ring_, post-apocalyptic thing that Butler blurbs. She's different--more vernacular--but works with neologism very flush-up directly in terms of language, as well as situation and setting, which I enjoy in Butler.
