Has anyone read these books? Gene Wolfe (a) seems like he’s using a wikipedia article about the most obscure words in the English language, and (b) is weirdly intent on making the reader decipher what’s happened through vague context clues instead of writing what happened.
I’m reading Shadow of the Torturer for the second time, and I just can’t wrap my head around Wolfe’s writing choices. I wish I could give up, but the books are actually too good.
