And another non-Wolfe book

I'm reading Green by Jay Lake. I would never have read it on my own; it looks like a generic D&D-style fantasy. But 100 pages in I'm very impressed. The language is almost Lupine, there are multiple, contradictory versions of a cosmological myth, and there's even a direct Wolfe reference: the main character at one point reads from "The Seventeen Lives of the Megatherians." Has anyone else read this, or anything by Lake?
