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)

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.

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.
