I feel like I'm missing things because everything is so goddamned symbolic, so keep reading recaps after several chapters. I can't say this is helping me enjoy it #bookofthenewsun #genewolfe

currently reading Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe, and while the prose dazzles, it leaves me feeling extremely ambivalent. Severian is definitely the guy of all time, and the book is extremely dense, esoteric and horny. #bookofthenewsun #genewolfe

Foi ele, o Fábio Fernandes, que me sugeriu a leitura desse livro anos atrás. Agora tê-lo em mãos e traduzido pelo Fábio traz aquela sensação de ciclo completo.

It would be cool if we inscribed the Book of the New Sun onto multiple gold/ platinum tablets and buried them in steel vaults all around the Earth such that they could be found millions of years from now, to combat Scientology doing that!#booksky #genewolfe #bookofthenewsun #scientology

Finally finished The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe! I know lots of people have ~intense~ opinions on this book, but I decided to share my review of it. Take a look if you're interested :) #BookSky #BookTube #BookTok #BookOfTheNewSun

… feels less like sci-fi and more like a metaphor for entire economic systems.

Some call it feudalism, others “progress.” Either way, the shadow always bleeds for the light.

i'm reading #suneater book 4, and if i had any doubt that this was heavily inspired by gene wolfe's #bookofthenewsun it's been obliterated in the first scene with the lothrians

I used to joke that Gene Wolfe’s #BookOfTheNewSun cycle was a cult.

Sure; you have to get through the entire epic series THEN the reread makes a whole
different experience. Sure…

At this point, I’m on my second trip thru, and have black cat named “Severian”

An imposing figure dressed in a cloak of pure black, holding an executioner's sword in one hand, making a religious gesture in the other.

Severian from Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun.

See a Severian, post a Severian.

Mayhaps gene wolf is the best in the business. #bookofthenewsun

This is a post that has nothing to do with Japan and academic life, but I need to get back to reading Book of The New Sun. Severian has sat around for too long waiting for me to procrastinate.

“We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges.” — The Shadow of the Torturer: Urth: Book of the New Sun Book 1 (Gateway Essentials 174)

One of the best quotes from Shadow of the Torturer. It resonates a lot with the bases of Structural Anthropology.

This probably appeals to two other people I know. #bookofthenewsun
