In The Shadow of the Torturer, Gene Wolfe hands us a scalpel and says, “Figure it out.” Severian, our melancholic torturer with a soft spot for doomed women and old words, stumbles through a decaying Earth like a poetic space-opera Don Quixote. It's sci-fi wrapped in fantasy dressed as philosophy - beautifully baffling, like reading a riddle in a dream.
