The first time I read The Book of the New Sun must have been somewhere in 2011, and it has remained a strong favorite in my mind ever since, easily top 5 ever. There’s also a short section on free will, and it ends with my overall appraisal of the book’s enduring appeal. This is a 5500 word essay on a reread of TBotNS, focusing on the narrative trap Wolfe has set, and my theory that his literary sleight of hand serves a religious/mystical goal, much more than it is the supposed puzzle for the reader to unravel. ![]() 5/31/2023 0 Comments Kept animals by kate milliken![]() Kept Animals is narrated by Rory’s daughter, Charlie, twenty years after that fateful 1993 fire.
