Reads
2009 June 22
I finally finished The Fifth Head of Cerberus and The Urth of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. Good reads. You should read them too. Wolfe is a dense writer who demands your attention and writes in puzzles. He makes your head spin trying to figure out what just happened. Most of his stories involve someone recording things in a book, so they include gaps in the action, frustrating omissions, and unreliable narrators. Glorious.
The urth of the New Sun is next on my list. I just finished the fourth book of the series.
How did you like them? I think they need to be read several times to grasp them.
