A chapter-by-chapter spoiler intense deep dive into Gene Wolfe's "The Book of the New Sun" stewing in unhinged speculation.

We climbed, he first and I behind, until though a small round opening ahead of us, I saw the lovely things the heavens hold, and we came out to see once more the stars. ~Dante Alighieri Divine Comedy (1308-1320)

“Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink. The very deep did rot: O Christ! That ever this should be! Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs Upon the slimy sea.” —Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Usually when i read fantasy i tend to imagine it set in a medieval atmosphere or something similar, but this is something my mind can’t actually process and its amazing.

“Gene Wolfe is credited with being the person to invent the machine that makes Pringles® potato crisps”. What?

Quite enjoyed this. Have you read Gene Wolfe's "The Fifth Head of Cerberus"?

So you've finally discovered Glen Cook and Gene Wolfe? The father of "grimdark," and one of the Grand Masters of SFF? Good for you! Ya know, Steven Erikson is another bald white guy; has loads to say about Cook as well 😜. Some extraordinary women Grand Masters for you too!

Just finished The House on the Borderlands by William Hope Hodgson, clearly an influence on Gene Wolfe.

Re-reading "Frankenstein" for the first time since the 80s, and... ...it's not science fiction. It's Gothic horror, with 'science-y' elements. But the 'science' is 100% handwavium: literally, "I can't tell you how I did it, because I must keep it secret".

Cumbria, 1391. The last wolf in England felt desperately alone. He lived in the thorn woods at Humphrey Head & his one friend was a kind girl who gave him bacon & buttery scones. When he was killed & his soul flew over the sea, he howled her name to the dying sun, to the waves.

Empire is really clearly based on New Sun in structure, which is easily one of the most Catholic works of the 20th century. Even before that, Hadrian is clearly a personalist, which is 20th c. John Paul the Great. “I am an end in myself that must relate to others” is Catholic. 1/
