I really wish I hadn't clicked that.

Anyone here a fan of Seven American Nights? It's quite short yet he manages to cram amazing detail into every part of the story. It kind of reminded me of A Canticle For Leibowitz with its vision of a torn America filled with horribly crippled mutants and other beasts. It's right up there with Book Of The New Sun and The Fifth Head Of Cerberus for me.

Nope. But I have added it to my list now!

Has anyone read stuff like Solar Labyrinth - analyses of The Book of the New Sun?

As far as book based analyses the only thing I have picked up was a copy of "Lexicon Urthus". Nice to be able to use it as reference material if I forget anything.
