I’ve read a few Gene Wolfe books, and short story collections, and I have to say, I find him near incomprehensible. Some of it is okay, but a lot of it involves absurd intuitive leaps just to follow. And a lot of times, it’s downright absurd.
One short story (I wish I could recall the title, as it was the one that finally soured me on attempts to read his stuff) involved a crashed time traveling space ship (how the protagonist figured out it was time travelers is one of those absurd intuitive leaps) that crashed into a lake by a cabin in the woods where the protagonist and his son were staying. Woman from the ship kills the son, and about a day later the protagonist captures her and promptly falls in love with her. Yeah, no thanks.
