Catherynne M. Valente was born in the Pacific Northwest, grew up in California, and now lives in Ohio with her two dogs.
“Catherynne M Valente’s Palimpsest just knocks me flat with her use
of language: rich, cool, opiated language, language for stories of
strange love and hallucinated cities of the mind.” — Warren Ellis,
author of Transmetropolitan
“Palimpsest is an elegant and evocative story set in a gorgeous
alien wonderland.” — Elizabeth Bear, author of Hammered
"Gorgeously written and deliriously imaginative, Palimpsest is the
book for those who love old maps and grow wistful at the sound of a
night train. A modern masterpiece in Valente's unique voice and
singular sensibility."—Ekaterina Sedia, author of The Alchemy of
Stone
“Catherynne Valente has once again proved her mastery of the
fantastic. Full to the brim with beautiful images and gorgeous
prose, Palimpsest belongs on the same shelf with Calvino's
Invisible Cities and Winterson's The Passion. Valente is writing
the smartest, gentlest, deepest work in the field, and she's good
enough to do it. I remain in awe.”—Daniel Abraham, author of The
Long Price Quartet
"It's never enough to merely read a book like Palimpsest, it has to
be imbibed, and it's sensuality fully savored."—Nick Bantock,
author of The Griffin and Sabine Trilogy
“Outstandingly beautiful prose.”–Publishers Weekly
