Have you written to Wolfe and asked for permission? Translating something requires the permission of the copyright holder, even if you do not intend on making any money from the wo…

The relatively-new CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO SCIENCE FICTION includes an essay which dedicates about a page and a half to Wolfe's solar works. The overview isn't terribly in-depth, bu…

Horn was only 35 years old or so at the beginning of OBW. While life was hard on the frontier planet of Blue, resulting in Horn having the tone of a crotchety old man, I don't thin…

Wolfe originally intended to let the story stand on its own in those four books. The only reason he wrote UotNS is because of pressure by his editor. This is all discussed in the …

I recently read "Seven American Nights" and think it is one of Wolfe's finest - and most chilling - works. I've long been unhappy that Wolfe has shown little interest in minority…

Someone -probably someone who posts on this list - has created an entry for Gene Wolfe at the already 100,000-entry, free (as in "freedom" as well as in "free beer") web encyclop…

On the bookshelves (at least when some of his books are misshelved in the Fiction section), Gene Wolfe sits by the early 20th-century writer Thomas Wolfe. Has anyone read any of …

I must say that the language looks somewhat juvenile, but I get the feeling that there will enough standard Wolfe trickiness to keep me interested. I've never read THE DEVIL IN A F…

I assume that Severian's incidental visions of Malrubius were actually of Silk, but the machine which saves Severian from the Ascians chose to create an aquastor of Malrubius becau…

I think Nettle is leaving for the opposite reason, that she knows that Horn is dead, her children are now full grown, and she has no reason to remain on an isolated island near cri…

Does anyone know where to track down a copy of OPERATION ARES? It is supposedly an awful book, partly because of Wolfe's not yet mature style and bad editing, but I'd like a copy t…

I wouldn't be too surprised. We have Larry Leif the returned Vietnam veteran, who's nonetheless young enough to have a sister in high school, so that makes me suspect the story i…

I've been corresponding with Gene Wolfe for a few weeks now, and I'm pleasantly surprised that he has time to answer letters from fans. Apparently, The Wizard Knight will be in t…

Hello all, We've all seen how useful Severian's sabertache is. Does anyone know where one could buy a sabertache in this modern world? Surely there is at least a company that ma…

Hello all, My first post after reading RttW. I'll admit that I'm somewhat disappointed; the BotSS is no BotNS, but it's certainly much better than the BotLS. Tormented first-per…
