  Gene who? You should sell all of those nasty books and buy something *good* by Weiss & Hickman. Seriously though, I'd keep them all because of the books I've read in that list the…

  Interrupted action. As fiction readers we've learned to anticipate certain things. For example, if you were to read: "She had been aching for a slice of pie for so long her eye li…

  That's funny. Inaccurate, but funny. I think the key is in the epigraph poem by Lord Dunsany. These things exist only in the twilight of dream, and the Wizard Knight is half dream…

  I'm not sure what GRRM controversy of which you speak, but he's a much different writer. He takes the almost-omniscient-loose-following POV character approach, which is a more comm…

  Yeah, there is that nagging feeling that whenever a character is behaving in some unfathomably random way that this was a fully intentional breach. Wolfe's tight control of the nar…

  LOL. No my intention; I'm just now realizing how one-sided I've been. Everything I wrote is true, but it's by no means the whole story. Very appropriate for Wolfe. Luckily, there …

  Able sounds much older in the second book, and has an academics voice, much as Severian's and Silk's. _The Knight_'s dedication is "Dedicated with the greatest respect to Yes Meyn…
