Ted Chiang, prose
If anyone doesn't think prose fits let me know.
Works for me, but I'm biased because that guy writes phenomenal short stories.
This is actually a Kurt Vonnegut line from Slaughterhouse 5 that Chiang quoted in one of his books. I adore this quote (it's helped me through some tough times) and want to make sure everyone knows where it really came from!
Oh I didn't know, got it from a great literary blog. Thank you for telling me!
