The Unreliable Narrators
Brent and Amanda discuss the brilliance of Gene Wolfe’s work: his short stories, his poetry, and his letters. We are interested in the extended Wolfe Universe, which is probably this one, but maybe not. The constellations are many, let us tell the stories of the stars.

The Unreliable Narrators
Once upon a time Brent showed up at Amanda's house carrying a tattered paperback with a shirtless masked man on the cover. "It's better than it looks. I swear!" He said. Three weeks without binocular vision (he had been wearing a fetching eyepatch due a tragic fencing accident [barbed wire fence, not swordplay]) had left him a bit loopy though delighted by a pirated audiobook of The Shadow of the Torturer. The rest is history. The book really was better than it looked and a decade and a half later Amanda and Brent are buried in stacks of old magazines, anthologies, and print offs from interlibrary loans (real ones, not sequels to The Borrowed Man) happily talking about Gene Wolfe and all the sane and insane implications of his worlds.
