pinkmooon 's review for:
Soldier of the Mist
by Gene Wolfe
Between this and the first part of the Book of the New Sun I've gained an understanding of how to appreciate Gene Wolfe without completely appreciating him myself. He's an excellent manipulator of his reader, but it still discomfits me to be so manipulated. I'm not left wanting more, because I fear the clarity I crave from his opacity will never come. And that in itself is not a problem or weakness of his style, but of me. Definitely a cult classic author. In conceit and evocation of a Greece I've studied fairly well, this is amazing. But Wolfe is harder to love than he is to appreciate. I will surely read more, but I'm left in no rush.
