Salvador, by Lucius Shepard

A story like this makes you sit up and take notice of the world around you. It's magnificent, and makes me want to question the skill that went into at least half a dozen of the ones I rated highly on this blog. The language, the imagery, the pacing were all top notch, and it all felt authentic. Very barely SF, this is writing of extremely high caliber. The sort that demolishes boundaries and tired debates of what is SF and what isn't.
