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

How many Gene Wolfe works are there that are like, Ulysses but for the Wizard of Oz instead of the Odyssey. It's more than one, certainly

Well I’m loving Uncertain Sons by Thomas Ha; good job on the blurb from @kellylink.bsky.social that persuaded me to get it from the library
but then I started on a sci-fi/horror rabbit hole and ended up revisiting some Gene Wolfe short stories right before bed
bad idea

Dude, you’re gonna love War Beneath the Tree.
I thought about waiting until January 1st to do my Wolfe-a-Day short story read but I realized I wanted to start now.
So without further ado, here we go in CASTLE OF DAYS and HOW THE WHIP CAME BACK.

I'll double down on Wolfe's Long Sun, but you should also read the granddaddy of them all, Heinlein's novella, "Universe."

I really enjoyed Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz. It does a great job balancing tone (from hilarious to soul crush dread), while weaving in Catholic theology. In that way it reminds me a lot of Wolfe's Book of the New Sun and Simmons's Hyperion.

More New Arrivals from @strangers.bsky.social from Thought Bubble!
Still a ton more books to log! Would be going faster if it wasn’t so freezing. If you’re warm why not browse the webshop? And if you’re cold, go get warm and browse the webshop!

Wolfe was the worst example GRR Martin could have used. Yeah he spent 4+ years writing all 4 vols of The Book of the New Sun in his basement before sending the 1st vol to the publisher before going to his full time job as an editor (2 feature articles/mo) and being married & a father of four.
