Finished reading Gene Wolfe's new novel The Sorcerer's House about a week ago. It wasn't his best work, but it was by no means awful. In fact, it was quite a ways away from awful, it was quite good. Kept me enraptured. As with an An Evil Guest I felt a little unsatisfied by how quickly it wrapped up. I felt like there were some questions raised not entirely answered, or perhaps wrapped up a little too nicely. I didn't feel the transcendent joy I felt at the end of The Book of the New Sun, or The Wizard Knight. But the haunted house meets magical realism (or fantasy, or whatever you want to call it) really really worked for me. And Wolfe's style is just so darn interesting. It sucks you in, and you don't notice just how tricky it is.
