Synopsis
Gene Wolfe is one of America’s most acclaimed fantasy and science fiction writers, whose works include Peace, The Fifth Head of Cerberus, the multi-award winning The Book of the New Sun, The Book of the Short Sun and The Wizard Knight. This collection celebrates Wolfe’s forty-year writing career by bringing together all of the major interviews Wolfe gave between 1973 and 2003 and publishing for the first time Wolfe’s series of essays on the art of writing, the future of libraries and the practicalities of reviewing fiction. Infused with Wolfe’s incisive wit, Shadows of the New Sun offers a fascinating and often darkly humorous insight into the mind of one of speculative fiction’s true luminaries.
