Rob,
Nice review of Claw of the Conciliator!

But this bugged me:

After a [b]hiatus of quite a few months[b], in which I have occupied my mind with books on gender-disparity and anthropology, the horrors of Soviet-era gulags, early science fiction, modern science fiction, and Joan Didion’s exploration of her grief following her husband’s sudden death, among other books, I turned my attention to the second volume of Gene Wolfe’s The Book of the New Sun tetra-logy, The Claw of the Conciliator...

BRO IT WAS YEARS! Straight up YEARS, fam. Lol.

I am really glad you’ve lived the books so far, though. Can’t wait to read the next review.
