A spoiler-dense, chapter by chapter discussion of Gene Wolfe‘s science fantasy masterpiece The Book Of The New Sun, covering all four volumes and a little bit from Urth of the New Sun when necessary. They don‘t try to spoil anything else but, then again it‘s not a prepossessing podcast. https://www.patreon.com/rereadingwolfe

Warning: almost no Wolfe content at all. James and Craig just sit around in the same room (for the first time ever) and talk about going to a relatively uneventful con. Never say we don't provide novel, exciting content. But we do throw around some ideas for a Wolfe-con near the end.
And we mention books we bought and/or learned about:
- Damon Knight, Three Novels
- Humphrey Carter, Tolkien: A Biography
- Tolkien, Unfinished Tales
- Greg Ketter (ed.), Shelf Life: Fantastic Stories Celebrating Bookstores [includes Wolfe's "From the Cradle"]
- Tom Disch, Neighboring Lives and The Priest
- C.S.E. Cooney, Desdemona and the Deep
- Swanwick, Cigar-Box Faust and Other Miniatures
- Theodora Goss, Snow White Learns Witchcraft
- Christopher John Farley, Kingston by Starlight
- Leigh Brackett, The Long Tomorrow
- K.B. Wagers, Out Past the Stars
- William Horwood, Duncan Woods
- Nicole Korner-Stace, Firebreak
- Barry Hughart, Bridge of Birds
- and a new (to us) podcast: The Skiffy and Fanty Show
