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). "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.
