In the meantime..

While you guys are awaiting the review of Lynch’s Red Seas Under Red Skies (I finished it, yes!), here’s a heads-up for another excellent review/analysis I encountered today on the blogosphere and enjoyed reading.

Over at OF-Blog, Larry dives into “The Shadow of the Torturer” first of Gene Wolfe’s monumental Books of the New Sun and expands on it in depth. I love this kind of ‘review’ because a) obviously the guy knows what he is talking about, b) he explores the different themes in the novel thoroughly (kind of rare thing, you don’t see it a lot in reviews these days) and c) he sheds some light on how the book works structure-wise. All in all, that makes up for an excellent post. Even more if you have read the book already, are reading it right now (that would be me), or are planning to read it in the near future. Quality stuff, check it out here.
