Gene Wolfe's Shadow of The Torturer is really well written. I must try to get more of his stuff.
I just finished reading the series this is part of (The Book of the New Sun). It is fantastic. I dont know how I have been reading sci-fi for years and never come across him. Really great.
Anyone get into Gene Wolfe obsessively?
There is an awful lot of work to be done to understand what is happening in the book I think and I have only just started to try and unravel what is happening in it!
