I think it would be difficult, in surveying the history of literature, to find many authors that surpass Wolfe's terrifying skill, depth, and subtlety. Often intentionally difficult or confusing to read (Wolfe often writes from the perspective of unreliable narrators - in this case, one who tends to lie to the reader), his books may not impart all of their intricacies upon the first reading, and become more complex and rewarding with each reading thereafter. But his worlds are so fascinating and beautiful that the reader's effort consistently pays off. The Book of the New Sun is marvelous, and often considered his best work. I'm half-way through it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539643887025519579noreply@blogger.com
