It's sort of like a rural Indiana art house movie made by a spiritually inclined Catholic, full of ghosts and folktales. For a first novel, this does hew to Wolfe's technique: painting around his main points or plot, describing them indirectly in outline. It's beautiful! ( ) The baroque pearl at the center of this fanciful collage of story jewels is an unexceptional middle class life in the Midwest of early to middle 20th century USA. There are ghost stories and corner of the eye love stories, fragments of remembered stories, old Irish stories, and even likely forged necromancy accounts. We encompassed in rooms of all the recalled residences and workplaces of Den Weer and move freely but without a safety thread though them. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Originally published in 1975, "Peace "is a spellbinding, brilliant tour de force of the imagination. The melancholy memoir of Alden Dennis Weer, an embittered old man living out his last days in a small midwestern town, the novel reveals a miraculous dimension as the narrative unfolds. For Weer's imagination has the power to obliterate time and reshape reality, transcending even death itself. Powerfully moving and uncompromisingly honest, "Peace "ranks alongside the finest literary works of our time. Hailed as "one of the literary giants of SF" by the "Denver Post," Gene Wolfe has repeatedly won the field's highest honors, including the Nebula, the Hugo, and the World Fantasy awards. "Peace "is Gene Wolfe's first full-length novel, a work that shows the genius that later flourished in such acclaimed works as "The Fifth Head of Cerberus "and "The Book of The New Sun."
