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

I kept waiting for you guys to mention the connection between the name Dorcas, Dor-CAS, i.e. “Cass”. Or maybe you did and I missed it.
