Gene Wolfe

    7. Mai 1931 – 14. April 2019

    Gene Wolfe war ein amerikanischer Science-Fiction- und Fantasy-Autor, der für seine dichte, anspielungsreiche Prosa und den tiefgreifenden Einfluss seines katholischen Glaubens bekannt war. Er war ein produktiver Autor von Kurzgeschichten und Romanen, der sich häufig mit komplexen moralischen Dilemmata und der Natur der Realität auseinandersetzte. Wolfes vielschichtige und vieldeutige Erzählungen boten den Lesern ein tiefgründiges intellektuelles Erlebnis und machten sein Werk zu einem unverwechselbaren Pfeiler der spekulativen Fiktion.

      Interlibrary Loan is the brilliant follow-up to A Borrowed Man: the final work of fiction from multi-award winner and national literary treasure Gene Wolfe Hundreds of years in the future our civilization is shrunk down but we go on. There is advanced technology, there are robots. And there are clones. E. A. Smithe is a borrowed person, his personality an uploaded recording of a deceased mystery writer. Smithe is a piece of property, not a legal human. As such, Smithe can be loaned to other branches. Which he is. Along with two fellow reclones, a cookbook and romance writer, they are shipped to Polly’s Cove, where Smithe meets a little girl who wants to save her mother, a father who is dead but perhaps not. And another E.A. Smithe... who definitely is.

      The Best of Gene Wolfe is the definitive collection of the best of Gene Wolfe’s short fiction. One of the greatest writers in genre (and literary fiction) of the 20th century, Gene Wolfe was a national treasure who produced the finest and most significant body of short fiction in the SF and fantasy field over the last fifty years. The Best of Gene Wolfe is an amazing retrospective collection of his short fiction, selected by Wolfe himself. Too many award winners and Best Of stories to list here; just as a sample we have "The Island of Dr. Death and Other Stories", "The Fifth Head of Cerberus", "Petting Zoo", "The Tree Is My Hat", "Seven American Nights", and "A Cabin on the Coast." Incredible tales from a writer who challenged and amazed. Who revolutionized the genre. And whose stories will stand the test of time. “Wolfe is our Melville.”—Ursula K. Le Guin
