Notes on 'The Urth of the New Sun' (1987) by Gene Wolfe (1931-2019)

The Urth of the New Sun is a continuation of Severian’s log which he started with Book of the New Sun (1980-1987). Unlike the prequel, the narrative takes place largely away from Urth, on board a spaceship and on the strange planet of Yesod, bringing to conclusion Severian’s endeavour to rejuvenate Urth’s dying sun. The Urth of the New Sun won the SF Chronicle Novel award (1988).
