He said he thought Wolfe to be quite remarkable, mentioning Book of the New Sun and The Fifth Head of Cerberus to be outstanding works. --- ### Robert Pirkola *24 Apr 2018, 14:34 · follows Il Penseroso* > On April 23, 2018, Il Penseroso wrote: > I met Vollmann last Thursday on his book tour, and specifically asked him > about Wolfe after I saw the quote.
