Gene\nWolfe may be a great and tricky science-fantasy author, and a lot is made\nof his head scratching acrobatics, but first and foremost he is human with\na profound sense of empathy and an amazing gift for conveying it across\nthe gulf between our souls. I'm grateful to read his work. I think Latro\nmight be my favorite of his narrative voices. So very human.\n\n~Witz\n\n\n\n\n\n------------------------------\n\n  "
