Gene Wolfe (1931-2019) was the Nebula Award-winning author of The Book of the New Sun tetralogy in the Solar Cycle, as well as the World Fantasy Award winners The Shadow of the Torturer and Soldier of Sidon. He was also a prolific writer of distinguished short fiction, which has been collected in such award-winning volumes as Storeys from the Old Hotel and The Best of Gene Wolfe.
A recipient of the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, the
Edward E. Smith Memorial Award, and six Locus Awards, among many
other honors, Wolfe was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of
Fame in 2007, and named Grand Master by the Science Fiction and
Fantasy Writers of America in 2012.
"A tricky, evil, deep, and remarkable novel by one of America's finest writers.... It is not merely one of my favorite books (although it is certainly that); it is one of a tiny handful of modern novels of which I am in awe." --Neil Gaiman, author of SANDMAN "This delicate, insubstantial web of Alden Dennis Weer's memoirs acquires a solidity and a timelessness which may well make it one of Wolfe's most remarkable works." --SF Site "[Gene Wolfe's] first fantasy novel, Peace, may be his finest." --The Encyclopedia of Fantasy "Gene Wolfe is the finest writer the science fiction world has yet produced." --The Washington Post on Gene Wolfe "Gene Wolfe is unique. If there were forty or fifty of this first-rate author--no, let's be reasonable and ask Higher Authorities for only four or five--American literature as a whole would be enormously enriched." --Chicago Sun-Times
