Award-winning contemporary science fiction author Gene Wolfe's densely written and highly imaginative novels have brought him critical acclaim and academic attention--as well as a dedicated fan base. "Shadows of the New Sun" brings together an impressive selection of hard-to-find resources for the Wolfe reader and scholar. Included are essays on the nature of writing, with discussions of key concepts such as character, structure, and the professional life of the writer; a series of interviews with Wolfe; and the rare Wolfe essay "Books in the Book of the New Sun."
