SynopsisIn a contemporary town in the American midwest where he has no connections, Bax, an educated man recently released from prison, is staying in a motel. He writes letters to his brother and to others, including a friend still in jail, to whom he progressively reveals the intriguing pieces of a strange and fantastic narrative. When he meets a real estate agent who tells him he is, to his utter surprise, the heir to a huge old house in town, long empty, he moves in. He is immediately confronted by an array of supernatural creatures and events, by love and danger. His life is utterly transformed and we read on, because we must know more. We revise our opinions of him, and of others, with each letter, piecing together more of the story as we go. We learn things about magic, and another world, and about the sorcerer Mr. Black, who originally inhabited the house. And then knowing what we now know only in the end, perhaps we read it again., In this contemporary fantasy novel told entirely in a series of letters, a man inherits a huge, magical house and is immediately confronted by supernatural and fantastic creatures and events.

Great Gene Wolfe spookiness
Great book. Super spooky and ambiguous, definitely a classic Gene Wolfe unreliable narrator situation. Also seems like this is Gene's hommage to the old author's stylistic choice of unfolding an entire book through the lens of letters (Dracula by Bram Stoker is a great example of this genre). Gene Wolfe doesn't disappoint.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
