Other Patricia McKillip Resources Patricia McKillip Resources on the Web Regrettably, I have not yet had an opportunity to write an essay on this author, but the “Other Resources” section below will lead you to some information about the “Notable Books” listed farther down this page. My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales McKillip tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and McKillip worthy in sum, to help you rank Patricia McKillip (and the works by McKillip listed here) on your personal literary “to do” list.
I don’t pretend that this discussion is a deep analysis. (In a very few cases, I have listed some books merely on the strength of my opinion of the author: all such books are clearly marked below, as throughout these lists, with a hash mark ( #) before the title so you know what’s what.) Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn’t think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it.
This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by McKillip: it includes only those books that I both know and like. This is a brief discussion of Patricia McKillip and, of course, of some speculative-fiction books by McKillip.
