Ep. 10.1 - Gene Wolfe’s SHADOW & CLAW w/Ben Thomas

from Method and Madness · host Brad Kelly

Writer and publisher Ben Thomas joins me to revel in the pleasures of the first two volumes of Gene Wolfe’s masterpiece tetralogy The Book of the New Sun. We talk science fiction vs. fantasy and why it matters, the linguistic brilliance embedded within the story, and how to savor the joy of not knowing what, exactly, is going on.Ben’s publishing house House Blackwood
