Gene Wolfe wins grand master award for science fiction and fantasy | Books | guardian.co.uk: "It's not that Gene Wolfe is, in the opinion of many (and I am one of the many), our finest living science fiction writer. It is that he is, in the opinion of the Washington Post (and of me, too) one of our finest living writers," said Gaiman. "He has been our uncrowned grand master for a long time, and now the rest of the world will know as well."
