The Book of the New Sun
RECOMMENDATION INFO
book by Gene Wolfe
added by Gryffyd
rated 8.2/10 by 10 people
isbn * 1857989775 1857987004
ISBNs are for the two-volume set. I consider _The Urth of the New Sun_ to be a compelling coda, but haven't included its ISBN, since it seems to be of limited availability at the moment. With or without it I still give the work the highest rating. A classic of modern SF.
