![]() ![]() I know there is meticulous detail, but I’m not one to try and comprehend every detail and word. I respect the aspect of feeling something more than understanding, which I think Wolfe portrays incredibly well as he flaunts his writing skills to almost hilarious degrees. I’m okay with having more questions than answers (actually a lot of media I enjoy does this). And that sometimes even unknown words can provoke so much imagination. N passage in the Lexicon Urthus (which I’ve briefly skimmed) by Wolfe validated my wanderlust again by insinuating the notion that not everything is meant to be understood, not even the vocabulary. Still trying to comprehend so much of what has happened, but also, I feel like I do know. I let go of trying to understand everything and just let Wolfe take me on this magical ride through time and space. I was driven back to finish it and I couldn’t put the books down. ![]() I took a break after Claw, but then I couldn’t stop thinking about Severian. A commenter said something like “when you begin thinking of Severian again, pick it up.” Which is what I did. I found a post here with someone experiencing something similar, which validated what I felt. Only to finish it and still feel the same way. I remember feeling so lost and overwhelmed midway through Shadow of the Torturer. ![]()
