Gene wolfe book of the new sun order6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() I shall break this down by individual volume, using citations and page references for the two two-volume omnibus collections released by Tor in the United States in 1994. In doing so, I also will endeavor to provide a plot summarization in addition to this exploration of some of the more salient themes that I detected in this series. While I will not be exploring all of these myriad speculations, I do plan on providing a few selections from the books themselves to highlight a few of the themes that may be of interest to those reading this work. Filled with allusions to creation myths, Christianity, hagiography, the Cold War, etc., these books have provided fodder for all sorts of speculation as to what lay underneath the surface of the narrative. Blending elements of science-fiction and fantasy into a first-person narrative, these four volumes ( The Shadow of the Torturer (1980) The Claw of the Conciliator (1981) The Sword of the Lictor (1981) and The Citadel of the Autarch (1982)) have won or been nominated for multiple World Fantasy and Nebula Awards. ![]() The four-volume The Book of the New Sun is widely considered to be Gene Wolfe's magnus opus and it consistently ranks as one of the most highly-regarded literary works of the past 30 years. ![]() Beartown us against you6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Soon a team starts to take shape around Amat, the fastest player you'll ever see Benji, the intense lone wolf always dutiful and eager-to-please Bobo and Vidar, a born-to-be-bad troublemaker. As the tension mounts between the two adversaries, a newcomer arrives who gives Beartown hockey a surprising new coach and a chance at a comeback. What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in the neighboring town of Hed, take in that fact. So it's a cruel blow when they hear that Beartown ice hockey might soon be disbanded. No matter how difficult times get, they've always been able to take pride in their local ice hockey team. ![]() ![]() Have you ever seen a town rise? Ours did that, too.Ī small community tucked deep in the forest, Beartown is home to tough, hardworking people who don't expect life to be easy or fair. Have you ever seen a town fall? Ours did.

Fisch6/30/2023 ![]() There are so many authors that are left out of the spotlight so this is my way of helping them to become recognized. Thank you for coming to Saturday Spotlight to learn about and support a new author! I appreciate it and I know for sure they do. ![]() Today I am worrying that I am now boring all of you so let’s move on. Those were the good days, no worries other than just being a kid. I only came in when my dad called me for dinner. Then after I made myself a bench I could sit outside and read under the blue tarp roof of my fort for hours. I carved a small “fridge” and kept apples in it. If you live in a place where it snows, what is your favorite winter memory? I always built a big fort with an ice door. It was a lot of fun and to see them laughing was the best part of my day. We had snowball fights and built part of a wall for a snow fort. Yesterday we were finally able to get outside and play in the snow. ![]() I finally finished a book this week…I’ve been struggling to get reading time in lately. ![]() I suppose when you keep busy it feels like the days end rapidly.

(That says a lot, because I’ve met a lot of people, including astronauts. But before Ilsa settled into YA, she wrote Star Trek, Mechwarrior, and Battletech, among others.įirst and foremost, Ilsa is simply one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. What has she written? Well, most recently, award-winning YA apocalyptic thrillers and sophisticated horror for older teens including Draw the Dark, Drowning Instinct, The Sin-Eater’s Confession, the Ashes trilogy, White Space, and The Dickens Mirror. This time it was Community Conversations: Ilsa J. My local library does these events as a fundraiser, so it was a low-key evening full of wonderful gems of writerly wisdom. ![]() Last week I had the opportunity to attend a talk by another successful, well-known author. ![]() |
