The Book of the New Sun is on my backlog, hopefully I'll get to it soon. What are your thoughts on it?
Doesnt this book have some goil whos cursed with huge magical breasts. Like she cant fight or escape because her tits weigh her down.
Pretty damn good, definitely one to re-read again and again for all the details and subtleties.

lol no, you must be thinking ofthe undines, Abia's wives, who have grown so large they cannot leave the ocean or they'd fall apart from the gravity.
Someone here once said Wolfe is a disciple of Borges in his writing style. Was that person speaking the truth or simply memeing?

Just look it up in the interviews, Gene Wolfe is huge fan of Borges. He even outright says some parts of BOTNS were inspired by him.
If you haven't read Wolfe, read this first, and the commentary.

Wolfe, like Nabokov, loves to write two-narratives in one.

I just finished it last night. It was a trip, to say the least. While the books themselves aren't by any means bad, the most enjoyment you'll find from it is from discovering its story-within-a-story. That's when the real crazy shit starts seeping through.

Oh no, there are many boobs.
