GW's genius, I think, is that his characters are invariably curious about precisely the wrong things, so that you're sitting there screaming HEY SEVERIAN MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK A DIRECT QUESTION ABOUT YOUR MOM ALREADY INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT FLOWERS OR WHATEVER, and he never does, and so you get literary blueballs.

I like Gene Wolfe.

That's the common interpretation, yes.

I've only read Book of the New Sun, Urth of the New Sun, WizardKnight, Evil Guest, and volume one of the Soldier series. Only, that's nine mindblowingly good novels, and that's barely a third of what he's written. He better stay healthy and keep writing.

His latest, "The Sorceror's House," is crazy weird and good too.

He's put together a tremendous body of short work, but I really like his post-2000 misanthropic writing, like "Ziggurat."

I own MOST of his work in hardcover thanks to Amazon Marketplace, I've just been putting off reading more till I'm a better reader.
