I'd suggest _Black Wine_ by Canadian Candas Jane Dorsey. It just won the
Crawford Award. Also _An Open Weave_ by devorah major. The latter
probably wouldn't have made it onto sf bookshelves because it's being
marketed as a "Black" title. It's a magic realist novel, and I enjoyed
it. It also won an award from the African-American Caucus (I think it's
called) of the American Library Association.
