Gene Wolfe’s Peace. It’s wonderful and entertaining on its surface, and it’s also a puzzle that you feel closer to solving every time you read it, but aside from a few foundational pieces, there’s still no solid consensus on what’s going on beneath that surface. Every time I read it, I discover something new and think it might be a breakthrough. The next time I start, I keep that in mind and test it against the text. Some of my theories are strong, I feel. Others are wild speculation. I’ve still never gotten tired of trying to dig a little deeper.
