RIP Gene Wolfe (2019) - Greg - 04-16-2019
I only ever managed to get through The Knight and The Magician. I enjoyed both very much.
But the thing about Mr. Wolfe that is rattling my brain, that I just learned, is that he also was one of the engineers on the machine that makes Pringle Potato Chips.

Book of the New Sun rattled my brain

I took a week of vacation from my crappy post-college clerical job (last job pre-Stenograph). Went alone, read all my books on the flight delays and had nothing to read once I arrived, which kind of sucked, because there really wasn‘t a whole hell of a lot for me to do! The hotel I booked had an English language rack of paperback books and that’s where I discovered Gene Wolfe. The Shadow of the Torturer and the Claw of the Conciliator became my beach buddies.
