Particular his recent one about JFK,  \"11/22/63.\" Technically it's about a guy trying to save the world via a time portal but finding out the butterfly affect is indeed, a thing. But it's also about a guy that goes into the past, finds meaningful work and falls in love. (Saying more would spoil the plot.)\r\n\r\nSwordspoint and the sequel, Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner are both very much about city life and have a sense of being more journal-like than a proper story. I really liked them because they meander about and show you so much of the city and the society.... without being dull and too 'talky' instead of showy. I never felt like the author was just satisfying herself. However, the book does take a hard look at gender and sexuality which can get... a wee heavy handed.\r\n\r\nI might be missing your meaning, but another story I'd consider Slice-of-Lifeish would be \"Witchell: A Symphony.\" It is a very odd book but I think it might fit in with your criteria here. The action takes place primarily at the main character's house (and by primarily, I mean he doesn't leave for weeks at a time.) It definitely takes the time to stop and smell the roses  -- there are really loving descriptions of both the food the characters eat and the time-worn house they live in. Warning, it can be slow at times and it has some strong LGBTQA themes, so if that's not up your alley, I don't think you'll like it. (Yeah, yeah, there is a theme here. Shoot me.)\r\n\r\nAnd thinking of loving descriptions of foods and homes... something that might also be right up your alley is The Magic of Recluce. L.e. Moddesitt always creates wonderful descriptions about blacksmithing, masonry, woodcrafting, barrel-making... really, any old time craft. It sounds boring. It is anything BUT. There is more focus on saving the world, generally, but usually saving the world requires spending time in the workshop, not brute force. The books do have a tendecy to wear on and on, though. They are very formulaic. Which can be nice. They have a rhythm to 'em.\r\n\r\nAnd hey, it just dawned on me I can add links.\r\n\r\n[11/22/6!](http://www.amazon.com/11-22-63-Stephen-King-ebook/dp/B005K0HDGE)\r\n[Swordspoint!](http://www.amazon.com/Swordspoint-World-Riverside-Book-1-ebook/dp/B000XUDHHA/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1422983778\u0026amp;sr=1-1\u0026amp;keywords=swords+point)\r\n[Witchell!](http://www.amazon.com/Witchell-Symphony-F-Trantham-ebook/dp/B00GZ4685G/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1422983913\u0026amp;sr=1-1\u0026amp;keywords=witchell+a+symphony)\r\n[Magic of Recluce!](http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Recluce-saga-recluce-ebook/dp/B002GEKJ8G/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1422983950\u0026amp;sr=1-1\u0026amp;keywords=magic+of+recluce)\r\n","subreddit_name":"Fantasy","author":"CitySizedBox"}]}
