A review by xenobio
An Evil Guest by Gene Wolfe

2.0

Totally not what I expected from the man who wrote The Book of the New Sun and The Book of the Long Sun. Those feel at first like weird things are happening randomly but it all ties together in a very powerful way. This one...I kept waiting and waiting for something to happen that would make sense of it all and it never did. And the way the male and female characters interact feels more like just "plain old-fashioned sexist" than "Jazz Age" or "retro".
