An incredible, if sometimes psychedelic and bewildering work of science fiction. Gene Wolfe is the master of unreliable narration. He inserts details that the careful reader will find can completely change what was taken to be obvious and true earlier in the work. A difficult read, but one I would recommend to anyone with any interest in Sci-Fi.
