“What counts is Wolfe’s gorgeous prose, the brilliant dialogue, and the dazzling way that reality shifts from one paragraph to the next.… It’s the sheer strangeness of this masterful tale that counts, and the glorious sense of unknown wonders to come.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Wolfe’s narrative glows, rich and seductive as ever.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“As he tries to make sense of his wanderings, Horn’s memories and dreams blend with the present in an elusive and intriguing chronicle of an ordinary man forced into extraordinary circumstances. The sequel to On Blue’s Waters … displays Wolfe’s signature style—literate, complex, and multilayered.”
—Library Journal
“Just when you think Gene Wolfe can’t possibly get any better—he does. In Green’s Jungles astonishes, moves, thrills, and brings Wolfe’s masterful sequence of Sun Books to a new level of artistry. With huge ambition and unsurpassed courage and craft, Gene Wolfe is exploring the boundaries of consciousness, faith, and reality. An impossibly beautiful novel.”
