He writes fiction and non-fiction, with much of the non-fiction being essay compilations, and all of it is beautifuly written. To combine this and the Mormonism subject, I might also recommend Hugh Nibley's "Approaching Zion" - a great piece of anti-capitalist/anti-socialist agrarian literature, as well as a scalding critique of some rank-and-file hypocrisy within the Mormon Church.
