Wolfe is the type of guy who will go to a convention to give a speech on writing and publishing in the sci/fi genre, but not before asking if there are other published writers in the audience, and then inviting them to join him on stage. We are talking friendships that span decades here. He will bowl you over with his talent and with the shocking realization that for all his accolades, he is a humorous and personable dude.Įach contributor in this volume starts out by telling the story of how they met Gene and his wife Rosemary, how they first encountered his writing, and the impact he had on that person’s career. How do you know if you’ve made it as a writer? When other writers line up around the block to talk about how much YOU inspired THEM. Shadows of the New Sun is an edited anthology chock full of well-established writers (most of whom have written scores of novels over the past several decades) who are also in awe of the great man.
Apparently I am not the only person to feel this way. Shadow & Claw brings together the first two books of the tetralogy in one volume: The Shadow of the Torturer is the tale of young Severian, an apprentice in the Guild of Torturers on the world called Urth, exiled for committing the ultimate sin of his profession showing mercy toward his victim.
