Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy. Some basic points: 1. Collar always hugs the neck 2. No pulling anywhere. Things hang cleanly 3. Lapels end about halfway from collar to shoulder bone (nice proportion)

King of Spain at the final day of Wimbledon. This looks great. Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy. So let's talk about some of the reasons why it's great. 🧵

If Gene Wolfe had written Dune, it would have started with Dune Messiah and would have been a 1st person memoire by Duncan Idaho post resurrection. His various sneerings would be ironic unreliability. There would have been few info dumps and none would be told by eye witnesses.

So the first guy lives a life just like the guy writing the book but , you know, he doesn’t have Claw. It’s crazy. He does the same things for different reasons. Then he’s not returned to his own time. What does that mean? When you write a book you have to explain this. It’s sad.

Gene Wolfe also had a true gift for writing very quickly. With that full fill time job, a wife and four kids, and only a couple hours a day to write, he also published 25 short fictions (including a couple award winning novellas) between 1975 and 1980.

He grew the mustache in the 90s. Prior to that the joke among fellow writer-fans was that this guy who wrote these stories looked so... ordinary. In 'Stations of the Tide', Michael Swanwick based his protagonist, the Bureaucrat, someone you'd never notice in a crowd -- on GW.

Dune can be *hard* to adapt because of all he put on the page. The Book of the New Sun is nigh impossible to adapt - & retain why it is distinct - because of what Wolfe left OFF the page for readers to work out. Without that, BotNS might look like a routine Sword&Sorcery flick.

The thing is, Talos and especially Severian are supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. Docas was not born yesterday. Her backstory is dark. All these staple tropes of SFF —are being subverted. You’re supposed to be horrified by what Jolenta is *and* by her treatment.

In his 40s Gene Wolfe wrote ‘The Fifth Head of Cerberus’ ‘Peace’ ‘The Book of the New Sun’ And an impressive number of novellas and short fiction, and a whole ‘nother novel over a period of 10 years while working a full time day as a magazine editor. No cocaine involved.

Don't know sci-fi especially well so maybe I'm wrong, but I have the impression there haven't been many serious attempts to imagine the place of Christianity in a space-faring human civilisation 500 or 1000 or 2000 years hence. I think it would be v interesting to do so.

Of course he is! He unreliable in the way all eye witness testimony is unreliable: He’s biased and limited in experience. He sees without understanding the meaning of what he sees. He leaves out important info, sometimes on purpose. Every once in a while, he lies to himself.

Gene Wolfe he designed Severian’s attire to encourage people to cosplay him. But I’ve never seen anyone do it.

He constantly undercuts the very concept of memory: “I have an incorruptible memory but I can’t be sure it’s not lying to me, but it’s so good I can even remember when I remembered something differently.” But… he pays it off I think.

'The Book of the New Sun' is held up as a classic use of an unreliable narrator, but how can that be when the first thing thing Severian says is that he has a perfect memory?

This blockheaded take. It’s common enough. But if you ask them to defend it they act like you’re being rude for questioning it.

This is true. Dracula was the first modern fantasy with the “magic system” all laid out. Then everyone has to use the rules. Fantasy has been in this shadow ever since. It’s is unrealistic for people to “know the rules.” We don’t even understand the algorithm of this platform.

Enjoying my digital copy of The Book of Fuligin. They are still putting together my physical copy. I hope there will soon be a way to buy it normally for the rest of y'all.
