The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. First edition mass market paperback from Ace Books, 1969. The marvelous Klimtish cover is by Leo & Diane Dillon. I wrote about the novel here.
The Order of the Day by Marcio Souza. English translation by Thomas Colchie. First edition mass market trade paperback by Bard/Avon, 1986. No illustrator credited.
Neuromancer by William Gibson. 1988 mass market trade paperback by Ace Books. Cover art by Richard Berry. A friend foisted this on me; I never gave it back, which was wrong. I don’t think I can overstate how important this book (and the following two in the so-called “Sprawl Trilogy”) were to me in the late nineties. In fact, Gibson was one of the first things I wrote about on this blog. (Don’t click on that link; the early days of this blog were Bad).
I don’t knew nothing this brazilian writer, Márcio Souza…….good? The words in the cover don’t courege me…….hahhaehaeha……..Do you know a new tale writer? I wanna read one but I don’t find nothing……..like Noll, Irvine Welsh…….

Ah, I’ve never read anything by Marcio Souza either. I’d love to know more about the book and any other works by him you might know.

I think his most famous book is The Emperor of the Amazon. The New York Times featured it 30+ years ago when it came out in English:
