The Claw of the Conciliator (1981) by Gene Wolfe. First edition. Published by Timescape Books. First print. A Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket (mild toning and shelf wear to dust jacket). Gene Wolfe is generally considered one of the greatest sf writers of all time, and with a huge online fanbase devoted to discussing his esoteric texts, it is difficult to underestimate his influence on the sf canon since 1980. His Book of the New Sun (1980-87) series, essentially a single work, is a genre-bending masterpiece of estrangement that deconstructs assumptions of narrative closure. Wolfe s work strikes a fine balance between fantasy and science fiction, a format that underpins not only the work s major spiritual and materialist themes, but also its method of estrangement.
