I used to think I'd like to see Book of the New Sun made into a movie. Unfortunately I doubt even the best filmmakers could make a successful version of it. The intricacies of the …

I'll tell you no such thing. You'll have to read the book to determine what you think of what Wolfe does with Latro. One thing any Wolfe fan should know is that Wolfe rarely gives …
