New Sun books are some of the best books ever written.
Long Sun and Short Sun are O.K.

Long Sun (and New Sun) were AMAZING.

@11679MRT New sun pretty much ruined all other books for me... I find that I would rather read it again than read anything else. Gene Wolfe is the philosopher stone

One correction: The description says November 2006, but Balticon 40 was Memorial Day weekend (May).
Who is the interviewer?
-
@kenaeda65 He deserves all the praise he can get! He's actually quite underrated. The writers you mention are all really good too, but Wolfe transcends them in several ways. His language is undeniably greater, but it's his way of weaving the archetypes of fantasy literature with a truly satirical, self-critical manner that makes the (especially in Book of the New Sun) work like no other.

@Zematus737 and Wolfe understood it.

“knight
n. Once a warrior gentle of birth, Then a person of civic worth, Now a fellow to move our mirth. Warrior, person, and fellow -- no more: We must knight our dogs to get any lower. Brave Knights Kennelers then shall be, Noble Knights of the Golden Flea, Knights of the Order of St. Steboy, Knights of St. Gorge and Sir Knights Jawy. God speed the day when this knighting fad Shall go to the dogs and the dogs go mad.”
by Ambrose Bierce

This comment has received too many negative votes show
wolfe is strong author and he has a great imagination however i dont think he deserves this much praise. mary doria russel's "the sparrow" and its sequel are what id call great work .Octavia E. Butler is on of the greatest american authors, of the 20th century. Butler is a scientific genios and i assure you " parable of the sower" is truly a must read for anyone who considers themselves a literary scholar.
