Wolfe-related Books
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I've scanned the pages at the bookstore and have heard good things about Solar Labyrinth and will eventually read it. Many people don't take sci-fi fantasy writers seriously, so it was a pleasant surprise to see Borski's book. It's pretty cool to see literary criticisms on any writer in this genre.

Speaking of literary critiques, has anyone read Peter Wright's "Attending Daedalus: Gene Wolfe, Artifice and the Reader" I flipped through this one at a bookstore a couple of years ago and haven't seen it since. I found neither of the reviews on Amazon helpful (imagine that
)
Is anyone else out there familiar with the book; is it worth reading?
