"Wolfe, in masterful mood, builds his characters, explores the puzzles, links the elements together and contrives to render the backdrop both intriguingly attractive and creepily sinister. Sheer enjoyment." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Wolfe stands out as a major figure in contemporary science fiction and fantasy."- Vector "A whole that transcends its incongruous parts. Wolfe is one of the very few writers who could bring off such a tour de force."- Asimov's Science Fiction on An Evil Guest "Wolfe mixes pulp adventure, ghost stories, and noir with self-reference, metafiction, unreliable narrators, and puns_ .  A highly flattering career retrospective of a postmodern fabulist disguised as a mild-mannered SF writer."- Publishers Weekly on The Best of Gene Wolfe, Wolfe, in masterful mood, builds his characters, explores the puzzles, links the elements together and contrives to render the backdrop both intriguingly attractive and creepily sinister.

Synopsis
An American writer of travel guides in need of a new location chooses to travel to a small and obscure Eastern European country. The moment Grafton crosses the border he is in trouble, much more than he could have imagined. His passport is taken by guards, and then he is detained for not having it. He is released into the custody of a family, but is again detained. It becomes evident that there are supernatural agencies at work, but they are not in some ways as threatening as the brute forces of bureaucracy and corruption in that country. Is our hero in fact a spy for the CIA? Or is he an innocent citizen caught in a Kafkaesque trap? In The Land Across, Gene Wolfe keeps us guessing until the very end, and after.

    I had some concerns about mold (the book I purchased is out of print and old) and the seller was kind enough to check the book out for me. They were also reassuring of their return policy if there was any problem. The book arrived as expected and was packaged securely and thoroughly. Will purchase from this seller again!
