Gene Wolfe

Gene Wolfe was an American science fiction and fantasy writer widely regarded as one of the greatest and most literary writers in the history of the genre. Born in New York City in 1931, he was an engineer by training and a prose stylist of extraordinary sophistication. The Best of Gene Wolfe collects his finest short fiction — stories that reward multiple readings with their layered meanings, unreliable narrators, and philosophical depth. His major works include The Book of the New Sun, one of the most celebrated works of science fiction. Wolfe's fiction demands — and rewards — active, careful reading. Wolfe died in 2019. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers some of the most literary and intellectually challenging science fiction ever written — fiction for readers who want their minds stretched.
