I didn't know about this until a few minutes ago. He wrote Riddley Walker, one of my top ten favorite books.

As noted in the piece linked to; read it aloud to yourself if it helps. I found that it helped me. It's a short book but upon completion I felt as though I'd completed a 1000 page epic. Not just because of the challenge but because of how much imagery and depth Hoban manages to pack into so few pages.
