I've always loved Kay's work. He writes beautifully and his stories mean something to me long after I'm done with them.
I've recently started re-reading his Fionavar Tapestry. I don't re-read often, but I had it on my Kindle so I started it again. This was his first work, and there are a few times I can tell (in comparison to his newer stuff). Still, his first work is something that would be considered a tremendous final work for any other author. The writing is beautiful; the depths of emotion he manages to infuse into the characters and story is tremendous.
He gets my vote for best fantasy writer currently living. What about the rest of you?
