As a follow-up to the previous mote...
Here is
a sample of Andrew De Leon's work in contemporary genres.
Of interest (to me, at any rate
), is the rich musical heritage at play. Here are feature five other countertenors of previous generations for contemplation.

From Neil Gaiman, on the value of Story:
I think that pretty much every form of fiction (I'd include fantasy, obviously) can actually be a real escape from places where you feel bad, and from bad places. It can be a safe place you go, like going on holiday, and it can be somewhere that, while you've escaped, actually teaches you things you need to know when you go back, that gives you knowledge and armour and tools to change the bad place you were in.
So no, they're not escapist. They're escape.
