This is a perfect short introduction for those people who want to 'dip their toes' in Gene Wolfe's writing style before jumping into The Book of the New Sun...I recommend reading this once and then spending some time on the internet to learn what you missed so you can understand how he writes before committing to the 1000 page BoTNS...even though you'll still miss plenty.
