Bonus: John Crowley talks about Hamlet’s Mill and a little bit about Wolfe
Sep 2nd, 2020 by ReReading Wolfe
The John Crowley Interview
John Crowley has never read a whole Gene Wolfe story but he's read Hamlet's Mill and that is the only 20th-century work included in the Chrasmological Writings (The Book of the Long/Short Sun). So we talked to him about that and about related works.
Then Craig and James talk about why James is so obsessed with the Wolfe/Hamlet's Mill connection.
