Editorial : About the Author
Robert Borski, in addition to writing the entry for Gene Wolfe in the recent Supernatural Fiction Writers, has penned a series of essays about Wolfe?s novels for The New York Review of Science Fiction. He continues to work out of Stevens Point, Wisconsin.
Gene Wolfe's BOOK OF THE NEW SUN has been hailed by both critics and readers as quite possibly the best science fiction novel ever written. And yet at the same time, like another masterpiece of fiction, James Joyce's Ulysses, it's been deemed endlessly complex and filled with impenetrable mysteries. Now, however, in the first book-length investigation of Wolfe's literary puzzlebox, Robert Borski takes you inside the twisting corridors of the tetralogy and along the way reveals his solutions to many of the novel's conundrums and riddles, such as who really is Severian's lost twin sister (almost certainly not who you think) and why he believes the novel's main character may not even be the torturer Severian. Furthermore, and in essay after essay, Borski demonstrates how a single master key will unlock many of the book's secret relationships-all in the attempt to guide you through the labyrinth that is Gene Wolfe's BOOK OF THE NEW SUN.
Was a gift to my husband who loves to look at the night sky with me.. I found the organization of Bright's to be much more helpful. Disappointing!. Thyatis is similar to the Roman Empire. I'm building my manga collection, and this is one of my favorite series.. The maps of the light seeds was sometimes off, and I was better off just trying every nook and cranny in the game and hopefully the ones I could not find would be accurate in the guide.
I don't know if Ubisoft games are too complex for these guide makers, but the whole point of a guide is to point out everything in the game accurately and clearly. So basically, I'm not a total beginner but I also don't have much experience in the past decade and I'm a newbie with QA testing.
This book is very hard to read on the kindle. But for what it's worth, I love the art work regardless.
The exclusive art print is colorful, printed on a glossy 8x10 postcard-like sheet of paper (looks great framed, by the way
