I think there are many definitions of High Art here. This Is How You Lose The Time War is something I'd recommend also, to compare and contrast what is considered emotionally vivid, beautiful prose, and challenging literature in science fiction now compared to Gene Wolfe. It's super fascinating to see how some things have changed in its definition of the pinnacle of the art and how others have stayed the same.
- root_axis 6y agoThanks for the recommendation, your setup has piqued my interest in terms of how I might appreciate the work as compared to Wolfe.

- runevault 6y agoWhile not on GW's level, one of the two writers of TiHyLtTW (Gladstone) is one of my favorite newer authors. I think I ended up liking Empress of Forever more than Time War (both came out in the same year) but both are fucking fantastic. When he described a star fighter as a hate fractal I admit I cackled.
