Fuligin Snuggie

Welcome to Fuligin Snuggie: a podcast for Gene Wolfe skeptics, brought to you by AD & Will. Join us as we re-read Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun in a desperate attempt to make sense of the series, its author, his fandom, and the complex legacy that surrounds this enigmatic classic of science fiction. Are these books the masterpieces everyone says they are? Is the emperor, in fact, wearing any clothes? We bring a critical eye to the series in an attempt to find out once and for all, or die trying.
