Title: 2nd Half of Near Perfection
Review: Reading Wolfe, any Wolfe, is an exercise in patience, dictionary use, and focus. Chiefly focus. You absolutely cannot skim his works. That said, The Book of the New Sun (in its totality) is seminal speculative fiction in the vein of Tolkein and Herbert. The story is mountainous and the ascent difficult; but when you reach the summit, the view is rewarding and spectacular. This type of writing simply enriches your life. A MUST read for any student of speculative fiction.
