Nifft the Lean

I was taken by surprise by this book. This 1983 World Fantasy Award winner by an author I never heard of was an astounding book. Comprised of four related novellas, it's about the best sword and sorcery book I've read. It's not just a D&D adventure, but a mythic journey into the underworld, replete with demons, giant bugs, sorcerers, and aliens. Nifft is a thief who takes on well-paid missions that provide him with his own, personal Dante's Inferno experiences. And the prose is truly outstanding.
