Jared Yates Sexton--The Midnight Kingdom--someone who writes just like John Gardner--i e. beautifully

and makes sense. Incidentally, John Gardner died around the year this writer was born and I was "born again" arriving in the USA--only to live through it now. Excited to be reading this book, soon.

John Gardner died in a motor-cycle accident.
