An American writer of travel guides in need of a new location
chooses to travel to a small and obscure Eastern European country.
The moment Grafton crosses the border he is in trouble, much more
than he could have imagined. His passport is taken by guards, and
then he is detained for not having it. He is released into the
custody of a family, but is again detained. It becomes evident that
there are supernatural agencies at work, but they are not in some
ways as threatening as the brute forces of bureaucracy and
corruption in that country. Is our hero in fact a spy for the CIA?
Or is he an innocent citizen caught in a Kafkaesque trap?
In "The Land Across, "Gene Wolfe keeps us guessing until the very
end, and after. A "Kirkus Reviews "Best Fiction Book of 2013
