Lexicon Urthus is an alphabetical dictionary for the complete Urth
Cycle by Gene Wolfe: The Shadow of the Torturer; The Claw of the
Conciliator; The Sword of the Lictor; The Citadel of the Autarch;
the sequel Urth of the New Sun; the novella Empires of Foliage and
Flower; the short stories "The Cat," "The Map," and "The Old Woman
Whose Rolling Pin Is the Sun"; and Gene Wolfe's own commentaries in
The Castle of the Otter. The first edition was nominated for a
World Fantasy Award. This second edition includes over 1,200
entries. When the first edition was published, Science Fiction Age
said: "Lexicon Urthus makes a perfect gift for any fan of [Wolfe's]
work, and from the way his words sell, it appears that there are
many deserving readers out there waiting." Gary K. Wolfe, in Locus,
said: "A convenient and well researched glossary of names and
terms. . . . It provides enough of a gloss on the novels that it
almost evokes Wolfe's distant future all by itself. . . . It can
provide both a useful reference and a good deal of fun." Donald
Keller said, in the New York Review of Science Fiction: "A fruitful
product of obsession, this is a thorough . . . dictionary of the
Urth Cycle. . . . Andre-Driussi's research has been exhaustive, and
he has discovered many fascinating things . . . [it is]
head-spinning to confront a myriad of small and large details, some
merely interesting, others jawdropping."
Fifteen astounding stories of science fiction, speculation,
wonderment and daring from the pages of M-Brane SF Magazine. Bonus
feature: the first print publication of two terrific stories by
Adam Callaway.
