I said teaberry, not sandalwood!
I could've sworn there was a Gene Wolfe thread at one point prior to my reading BotNS, but figured it was only fitting if I were misremembering something related to his books.

For further Wolfe reading, my library system has all three Short Sun books but only two from Long Sun. Is it possible to read and enjoy Short Sun without having read Long Sun beforehand? I try not to get roped in to multi-volume genre series, but I think I was completely sold on reading another from Wolfe by the point where Severian pushed a two-headed corpse out of a mountaintop lair carved to look like one of its heads.

For all the dissection the New Sun series receives, are there any decent analyses of Peace out there? I think I got the gist of what Alden was glossing over, but I'm sure I've missed some staggering connections along the way. Regardless, it's a lot more unsettling than I had imagined an old man alone(?) with his thoughts could be.
