Gene Wolfe
Gene Wolfe (born May 7, 1931) is an American science fiction and fantasy writer. He is noted for his dense, allusion-rich prose as well as the strong influence of his Catholic faith, which he adopted in marrying a Catholic. He is a prolific short story writer as well as a novelist, and has been nominated for the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, and World Fantasy Award multiple times. Wolfe fought in the Korean War and after returning to the United States became an industrial engineer. For many years he edited the engineering review "Plant Engineering" before retiring to write full-time. (One little known engineering achievement of Wolfe is that he is the co-inventor of the machine used to make Pringles potato chips). His best-known and best-regarded work is the multi-volume The Book of the New Sun, set in a distant future and detailing the life of Severian, an apprentice torturer, as he ultimately becomes a messiah. The work is composed of the novels

Latro in the Mist
Gene Wolfe Trade Paperback Buy Tell a Friend Print
Gene Wolfe Gene Wolfe has been called "the finest writer the science fiction world has yet produced" by The Washington Post . A former engineer, he has written numerous books and won a variety of awards for his SF writing.
Book Description
A distinguished compilation of two classic fantasy novels, Soldier of the Mist and , in one volume
This omnibus of two acclaimed novels is the story of Latro, a Roman mercenary who while fighting in Greece received a head injury that deprived him of his short-term memory but gave him in return the ability to see and converse with the supernatural creatures and the gods and goddesses, who invisibly inhabit the ancient landscape. Latro forgets everything when he sleeps. Writing down his experiences every day and reading his journal anew each morning gives him a poignantly tenuous hold on himself, but his story's hold on readers is powerful indeed, and many consider these Wolfe's best books.
Book Review
"SF's greatest novelist, and overall one of America's finest. . . a wonder, yes, a genius."-

The Last Continent: New Tales of Zothique
Clark Ashton Smith has been influential on a number of fantasy writers from Lovecraft to LeGuin, and also Gene Wolfe. This collection of homages, a special limited edition, contains Wolfe's story "A Traveller in Desert Lands". Writers include Dan Clore, Charlee Jacob, Brian McNaughton and others. This is an expensive edition and fair warning should be given that Smith's own writing was "dark fantasy" and this volume contains themes that may not be suitable for all audiences.

In 2005 we developed a new graphical browser (YGOB) for viewing synteny relationships and genome duplication in the sequenced hemiascomycete yeast genomes. YGOB presents multi-species comparisons and is superior in many ways to the information presented in YGD. Almost all of the information in YGD is also available in YGOB. We suggest that you use YGOB instead, but we continue to make this YGD site available as an archive.

A Few Words About Gene Wolfe
(What follows, adapted from a usenet post I made, is not what will be the eventual Wolfe write-up here; but, since I had it and it does say something about Wolfe, I put it in here till I can get to a longer discussion.)
Gene Wolfe has not made a secret of his chief organizing element: the protagonist of the Torturer books has an eidetic memory; the protagonist of the "Sidon" books is a man who can remember nothing at all from one day to the next.
"A man is the sum of his memories."
The Doctor Human life is not a home movie, neatly unrolling from the day of birth to the day of death. As Augustine (a thinker Wolfe must surely be well familiar with), among many others, has noted, we are our memories, nothing more and nothing less. And our memories are not neatly sequential scrolls of the things that happened to us, each event remembered in no greater or lesser detail than any other. What we don't remember, effectively never happened; what we falsely remember, effectively did happen. When we consider ideas and events happening now, the memories that may be relevant, that occur to us in consequence, do not come up in our heads neatly organized and tabbed. They rush in willy nilly, as this or that odd detail happened to stick in our minds at the time. And the strangest things may bring up long- unconsidered memories (as in Proust's famous work).

Paging the Slithy Toves: A Complaint About Gene Wolfe
Jason Kuznicki on Aug 14th 2006 digg_skin = 'compact'; A Perfect Vacuum The Book of the New Sun Now Wolfe certainly deserves much of the formidable praise that has been heaped upon him. Yet I have to dissent in part. And I may be called a philistine for what I am about to say, so I should make perfectly clear that Gene Wolfe is, generally speaking, a truly great writer. There are not just flashes of genius in his work; there are whole great wide swaths of it. At times I stand perfectly in awe; I think of Dostoyevsky and Hugo and Proust. And then, alas, there is the rest. The Fifth Head of Cerberus The Book of the New Sun seems to be a lot heavier on intellectual noodling and a lot lighter on solid writing. Consider the following sentence: And so I trudged along under stars brightened by the wind, no longer a torturer in the eyes of the few who passed me, but only a somberly clad traveler who shouldered a dark paterissa.

Gene Wolfe making Thomas and me, at least presumptively, distant cousins. Hemingway sharpened twenty pencils and Willa Cather read a passage from her bible; but Thomas Wolfe, bless him, swung his big body down Brooklyn streets and may have been thrashing out some weighty problem in Of Time and the River during the early hours of Thursday, the Seventh of May 1931. I hope so. I like to think of him out there on the sidewalk worrying about Gene Gant and flaying NYU. At any rate, I was born in that city on the southwest tip of Long Island. My parents lived in New Jersey at the time, but they moved and moved. To Peoria, where I played with Rosemary Dietsch, who lived next door, and her brothers Robert and Richard. To Massachusetts, where little Ruth McCann caught her hand in our car door. To Logan, Ohio, my father's home town, where Boyd Wright and I got stung by the bumble bees in our woodshed. To Des Moines, where a redheaded boy taught me chess while we were in the second grade. Then to Dallas for a year, and at last to Houston, which became my home town, the place I am "from."

Gene Wolfe

The copy of The Fellowship of the Ring that I received from lies on my desk as I write. It is, I suppose, the first American edition; it was issued in 1956 (the year in which I bought it) by the Houghton Mifflin Company of Boston. It is gold-stamped, and is bound in cloth the colour of slightly faded denim. Its elegant dust jacket vanished long ago, though I still recall it. Its back board holds a much-folded map of Middle-earth, sixteen inches on a side, showing among other places the Shire, the Lost Realm of Arnor, Mirkwood, the Brown Lands, Rohan, and Gondor. On its half-title there is now a quotation from Thoreau that I inscribed in blue ink many years ago. I give it because its presence on that slightly yellowed page should convey to you more of what this book meant to me in those days than anything that I might write in my little essay possibly could. Our fabled shores none ever reach,
No mariner has found our beach,
Scarcely our mirage is seen

In return he is given the ability to see and talk with gods and spirits.

under hill by Gene Wolfe
At length he encountered a merchant, a solid no-nonsense trader in wool and fleeces, who declared that he had seen the glass hill himself, and even conversed with the princess. "A smallish woman," he continued, "with long black hair and big eyes. I prefer my women larger, and I like a bit more meat on them. But she's very pretty if you care for the type. Delicate, you know. One of those oval faces. Young, I would say. Very young, and stolen from far Cathay. Daughter of their king and all the rest. Think you can climb a hill of glass, Sir Bradwen?" "By Saint Joseph!" Bradwen exclaimed, and raised his sword hand to attest the oath. "I have not come this far to fail." "Well said." The merchant smiled as the point of his dagger carried half his chop to his mouth. "I like a young man of spirit." "And he likes you," Bradwen declared. And then, seeing that the merchant expected to be asked for a loan, "I have gold sufficient for my modest needs, you understand. I've lands, and a castle that we wrenched from the Heathen Saxon. But in the matter of tidings I am poorer than any churl. May I ask how you came to speak with the princess?" "With little difficulty," the merchant replied, clearly relieved, "for I have been blessed with good ears and a good, loud voice. She was on the battlements, where she appears to spend a good deal of her time. The slope of the lower levels is easy, and there are crevices in the glass with bushes sprouting out of them. It becomes steeper higher up, then levels off at the top." The merchant traced the outline of a bell with his hands.

  • Gene (Rodman) Wolfe 1931–
    American science fiction and fantasy novelist and short story writer. Wolfe blends the intellectual appeal of science fiction with the emotional appeal of fantasy to explore contemporary themes. Among Wolfe's major concerns are the isolation and alienation of the individual and the terrors of daily existence. Wolfe's stories are typically open ended, and his protagonists are often children or young men trying to make their way in the world. Wolfe has only recently emerged as a popular storyteller, although critics have praised his writing since the publication of The Fifth Head of Cerberus in 1972. Cerberus , which explores identity and selfhood, and The Book of the New Sun , a tetralogy that examines a decaying planet and the myth of a new sun which may be that planet's only salvation, are ranked among the most important science fiction works written in the last decade.

Jeff Long A youthful American voice isn't particularly challenging - I've been a young American, and they're all around me. I can walk from my house to Barrington High School. Gene Wolfe Ambiguity is necessary in some of my stories, not in all. In those, it certainly contributes to the richness of the story. I doubt that thematic closure is never attainable. Gene Wolfe He's not rewarding us by talking to us. He's talking to us because He has something to say to us directly, as opposed to the things He says to all humanity. Gene Wolfe I don't think anyone is more intrinsically holy. People experience God in many ways; and it seems to me that God does what the rest of us do: He chooses the means that best gets His message across. Gene Wolfe I have read only the first 'Harry Potter' book. I thought it excellent, perhaps the best thing written for older children since The Hobbit. I wish the books had been around when my kids were the right age for them.
