Importing some books from J.G Keely's suggested readings in fantasy.

From the above link:

A unique, transformative book that prefigures so much about modern writing, from 'Mannerpunk' and Stream-of-Consciousness to Slipstream and Magical Realism. Though over the past century it's been focused on as a 'Lesbian book' (or more recently, a 'trans book'), it's so much more than that, and to treat it in such simple terms is to limit it artificially. It is a book about the art of self-creation, beyond any limit of prescriptive social definitions of gender, or sexuality, or art. It is one of those books which, like Gormenghast or Moby Dick, commits wholly to freedom, never limiting direction or possibility in the text.
