Our friend Pat Rothfuss just had his debut book, The Name of the Wind, named as the best book of 2007 by The Onion’s AV Club. (http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/the_best_books_we_read_in_2007). That’s Best Book, not best SF Book. I highly recommend it. Pat was able to take all of the genre conventions of Epic Fantasy and somehow made them fresh again. His prose is also exquisite.
This goes along with his Quill Award. I suspect that more awards are coming.
