Reviews
Praise for The Wolfe at the Door
“Any confirmed Wolfe fan will want what the writer himself regarded as stories ‘every bit as good as’ those in The Best of Gene Wolfe.” —The Washington Post
“The range and reach of the fiction on display here, intelligently curated into different sections, proves once more that Wolfe deserved every iota of his Grand Master status.”—Locus
“A portrait of the lion at twilight, displaying his continued mastery of his signature mixture of fantasy, science fiction, and horror.”—Library Journal
Praise for Gene Wolfe
“Quite possibly the most important writer in the SF field.”—The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction
“Wolfe is our Melville.”—Ursula K. LeGuin
“Sentence by sentence, Mr. Wolfe writes as well as anyone in science fiction today.”—The New York Times
“Gene Wolfe is as good a writer as there is today…I feel a little bit like a musical contemporary attempting to tell people what’s good about Mozart.”—The Chicago Sun-Times
“Wolfe is a sophisticated stylist, and has more in common with writers such as Jorge Luis Borges than almost any science fiction writer both in terms of craft and themes.”—The Boston Globe
“One of the literary giants of science fiction.”—The Denver Post
“Wolfe is SF’s greatest novelist, and overall one of America’s finest.”—The Washington Post Book World
Praise for Interlibrary Loan
“Wolfe, a celebrated science-fiction writer who died in 2019, stretched the genre’s boundaries in his rich and allusive work … Wolfe deploys sci-fi and gothic elements—an interplanetary portal, a sentient house that builds itself—to explore the question that lies at the heart of many of his novels: What does it mean to be human and alive?”—The New Yorker
“Wolfe fans will spend a lot of time discussing this. All the best detective stories have clues buried deep in them. You need to look back and check for the ones you missed. It’s an enigmatic final note from sci-fi’s most enigmatic author.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Ambitious, imaginative, and packed with twists and turns, Interlibrary Loan is a major achievement from a legendary writer gone too soon.”—Esquire.com
“Complex and clever, this last offering from Wolfe is sure to please sci-fi readers.”—Publishers Weekly
“A winding tale… that will have readers going back looking for details they missed the first time around. This posthumous sequel to A Borrowed Man blends a hard-boiled mystery style with a sf future.”—Library Journal
