It's such a pity you can't read...maybe one day, though.

Great video! I've read neither An Evil Guest nor There Is No Antimemetics Division, but I have read Wish I Was Here, which was massively helpful in contextualizing your critique, and made me think I'd thought something similar before - which must mean something, I'm sure :) Thanks!

Thank you for watching! I'm sure if you enjoyed Wish I Were Here you might find something to appreciate in An Evil Guest. I think Wolfe is quickly becoming one of my favourite writers of weird genre fiction as I dive into his works outside The Book of the New Sun.

@@HabitualBlood I struck out spectacularly with Shadow of the Torturer a couple of years back, but should the spirit move me thither, I'll give it a whirl :)

Speculative fiction.

To paraphrase Gerald Murnane, I would have thought all fiction speculative.

Man I wish Australians were real.

It really is a shame that this is the best AI approximation of how an Australian might look and talk.
