Gene Wolfe sounds like a Hideo Kojima villain but he actually wrote some books about a topless dude and invented Pringles

I doubt Wolfe would disagree with the following: BotNS is very much, but understandably not completely, concerned with Catholic/messianic ideas. There’s also parts that contradict strict doctrine, so it’s hardly a subtle apologetic or evangelistic.

Joke's on y'all though because I prefer Soldier in the Mist and sequels to the Sun Cycle.
Although! Wolfe's retelling of the temptation of Christ in Severian's story is hands-down one of the most memorable scenes to me in all of fiction.

In other words, I vastly prefer Terra Ignota to BotNS at the moment. But who knows what the future might bring.

I couldn't finish BotNS. Really disliked the push-pull combo of the dreamy, radically open "it can mean almost anything you want" atmo & the uneasy feeling that the author is cryptically trying to sneak a Catholic allegory past me. But since TI is so dear to me, I'm willing to give BotNS another try

reading your intro for the BotNS tor classics rerelease really helped click terra ignota into a new perspective for me, too!

The torturer is named Gene Wolfe.

I think BotNS is brilliant and I love it, but it’s also sometimes a bit cruel to the reader in how hard it is to follow, especially in its jumps over resolution, & constantly demanding one remember names/people from hundreds of pages earlier w/o a reminder. I made my goal be “like BotNS but kinder”.

“'Severian,' she said. 'It can't be.' Hanging over the city like a flying mountain in a dream was an enormous building… I tried to speak, to deny the miracle even as I saw it; but before I could frame a syllable, the building had vanished like a bubble in a fountain…”

AI is an unreliable narrator pretending to be your robot buddy
You think you’re in an Isaac Asimov story and you find out you’re in a Gene Wolfe story

The Alzabo from Gene Wolfe’s Book Of The New Sun - a creature with the ability to absorb the memories of its prey, so it can eat one member of a family, then convincingly mimic that person to lure the rest of the family to their doom. Chilling!

Gene Wolfe really started phoning it in after the fourth time he remixed the title but I guess he just really wanted to win that Hugo his way

Do I have enough time left to read the Gene Wolfe stuff in completion? I think I left off after finishing the Book of the Long Sun, iirc, but do not know how much more has been published.
Or should I look at Thieves World finally?

You should probably read Zelazny's "Devil Car" at some point, if you haven't already. (And possibly Gene Wolfe's "Car Sinister", but the, uh, action there is mostly just in service to the pun.)
