In the best sense of the word, it reads like a great first novel. It has two qualities not found elsewhere in Gene Wolfe's output. For one, it is Wolfe's first work of significant length that demands to be read in one sitting. It is not just addictive (all his writing is), it is propulsive: suspenseful, light, easy, and fast-paced, with not a single extra word or excess episode and packed with weirdness, sex and violence, it grabs you like something created by the urbane imagination of, say, early Jonathan Carroll collaborating with the ruthless discipline of, say, Michael Connelly. But wait, there's more. Because for two, it's funny. Hysterically so. Up until now, most of Wolfe's best jokes have been hidden in his short stories or in brilliant moments, occasional stretches or supporting characters one (always mistakenly) thinks are being used for comic relief in his epics. But for me, this is the first time since that great '70's novella "Forlesen" that Wolfe has written a lengthy, sustained entirely comic work, whose humor, like "Forlesen's," tangoes with terror and dread. You'll feel like he is juggling rabbits. With tusks.
Read it now. It is a surprise, a delight, a brand new gift from an unsurpassed, unequalled author who has absolutely nothing to prove, and everything to show for it.
