The average Gene Wolfe experience : We understand nothing, but we stil love it. Dare I say... he often left us Clawless (clueless) ? I'm currently finishing Urth of the New Sun, and boy oh boy.
@@iSamwise No need to be stressed : you did it once. It can only be better ;) Btw, it's my favorite in the New Sun Cycle, seeing Severian trying to be a better man warm my heart
I don't know when to stop looking for the easter eggs in this series. You've already researched the details of The Tale of the Student and His Son, I assume. Why is it that Jonas himself- his literal form- is a Ship of Theseus?
Glad you're working your way through these. Mazel Tov!
Thank you! I really love these books. Your conversations on them with Ruocchio really helped me on my first read through!!
One of the best series of reviews on the books. You keep it simple and grasp the vibes well
@@Avzigoyhbasilsikos thank you for the kind words!!
This is a great video! You're speaking very succinctly about something I would struggle to verbalise. Keep up the good work, cheers.
@@WoodwoseTransmissions thank you very much!

Dude. Urth of the new Sun is another level. I’m a little bit nervous about coming back to it on a reread!

Wolfe plays a lot with Greek myths in this. I’m not fully sure why that is with Jonas but it sure is a fascinating point.
