Gene Wolfe: Book of the New Sun (Spoilers possible)

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I'll second that!  This was an outstandingly bad novel.  Yet it
seems that every year or so the Wulf-cultists must issue forth onto
the net to demonstrate why there's such a large and uncritical
market for so much bad SF.
