Thanks for this. Great article! I’m in the “Gene Wolfe is one of the greatest American writers period” camp. For proof, look no further than this (hard-to-find) novella: The Ziggurat. (Also, the standard works: The Fifth Head of Cerberus, Island of Dr. Death stories, Forlesen, etc …)

I remember my first reading (it was for a collection of short stories). I was PETRIFIED when they introduced me. But when I got in front of the microphone, the terror melted away and it was pure bliss.
btw, I have your book 📕 on order.
