Happy birthday to American writer Lewis Shiner, born today in 1950. Shiner began his career as a science fiction writer, but then identified with cyberpunk, and later wrote more mainstream novels, albeit often with magical realism and fantasy elements. #LewisShiner

A cover of the paperback edition of the novel 'Glimpses' by Lewis Shiner.

Your welcome. An extraordinary book which inspired a brilliant (if I say so myself) unreleased @thecloudminders.bsky.social song that's unlikely to see the light of day now unfortunately. Console yourself by tracking down a copy of #Glimpses by #LewisShiner instead! 🎸🎵📖❤️
