I neglected to reshare this last week when it happened and can't recall anyone else posting on it. If you're a good enough writer that the blessed Ursula says he is "our Melville" you better be paying attention.

Gene Wolfe, 'magnificent' giant of science fiction, dies aged 87

If you haven't read The Book of the New Sun cycle, do yourself a favour, do that thing.

For those who are morally against the use of torrents, I think his books are in any case sold drm free. See https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2017/03/07/free-tor-ebook-shadow-and-claw-by-gene-wolfe/

Generally I pay for books if I find a way to buy them DRM-free. I couln't find any of his books on TOR, though.
