A sad day for sci fi fans

Indeed.

 

[Boaz]

I thought Pirate Freedom was excellent.

 

[Bick]

And I just read The Book of the New Sun. Sad news indeed. Pretty good innings though, both regarding time at the crease and quality of his contribution to literature.

 

[Simbelmynë]

Very sad news. I only just heard. But what a legacy to leave behind, even if he is still a relatively obscure name for most.

 

[zlogdan]

Very sad news indeed. My favorite author definitely. May he rest in peace.

 

[Stephen Palmer]

RIP the one and only Gene Wolfe.

I have only recently read BOTNS. It is a truly unique work. I look forward to diving into the rest of his works
