"I soon found myself arrayed in lapis lazuli jazerant, cothurni, and a stephane, the whole set off by an ebony baculus and a voluminous damassin cape embroidered with rotting pearls."

The Torturer.

Severian of the guild of torturers, wearing his characteristic cloak made of fuligin-- a material so dark that it absorbs light and appears flat and graphic.

O meu “A Sombra do Torturador” do Gene Wolfe chegou hoje à tarde. Estou tão emocionado que vou reler ele já. Esse é um dos melhores livros que já li. A tradução do Fábio Fernandes já me diz que estarei em boas mãos.

It’s time to resume my The Book of the New Sun readathon. Right now I’m stuck in the Botanical Gardens, but specifically in the Jungle Garden. I spent two nights over there and that’s it.

Illustration of Nessus, one of the main cities of the Book of the New Sun, by Gene Wolfe. Severian, our protagonist, leaves the city of the pinnacles behind, wearing his fuligin, his black robes from his old guild.

As I just can't stand the wait for #AlectoTheNinth , I'm reading #TheBookOfTheNewSun . I had heard that it was a big inspiration for Tamsyn Muir writing The Locked Tomb series. I can see it in many ways, the biggest is in the vocabulary used.

This post, I realize, was quite meaningless.
