In this companion guide, Michael Andre-Driussi illuminates Gene
Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun and Book of the Short Sun science
fiction series through dictionary-style entries on the characters,
gods, locations, themes, and timelines of the novels. Gate of Horn,
Book of Silk, is organized in two parts, with the first half
covering the Long Sun series (Nightside the Long Sun, Lake of the
Long Sun, Calde of the Long Sun, and Exodus from the Long Sun) and
the second half covering the Short Sun series (On Blue's Waters, In
Green's Jungles, and Return to the Whorl) half covering one of the
two series. "Languages of the Whorl," a section between the two
parts, covers all the dialect, slang, and foreign terms used in the
books--thieves' cant, flier language, Tick's talk, and more. Ten
maps and diagrams are included. This is Michael Andre-Driussi's
third guidebook to the rich tapestries of Gene Wolfe's worlds. As
fans of of Lexicon Urthus and The Wizard Knight Companion have
noted, that each book is both a convenient tool for a question
while re-reading the novels but also an enjoyable read in its own
right, from A to Z.
