CSE Cooney met Wolfe early in her career, and he became something of a mentor to her. Craig caught up with her and her husband at Gen Con where they were releasing and demo-ing their new narrative role playing game Negocios Infernales (all about aliens infiltrating 16th century European culture). Check out her collection Bone Swans or the novel Twice Drowned Saint for a first read.

Brian Evenson is an academic and acclaimed, award-winning author of novels and stories spanning every conceivable genre. Naturally he is also a Wolfe fan.

* Blending Fantasy and Sci-Fi in Gene Wolfe’s The Shadow of the Torturer at Tor.com

* brianevenson.com

* bibliography

* "The Glassy Burning Floor of Hell"

* Interview at Los Angeles Review of Books 

"I returned to Wolfe a few decades later because of a student’s interest in his The Fifth Head of Cerberus and realized that Wolfe (along with the very different J. G. Ballard) had had a deep subterranean impact on me as a developing writer, almost without my knowing. I feel like I’ve learned a tremendous amount from him since, as I’ve systematically gone through and read all of his work."

* Civilian Reader Interview  

Q: "What inspired the novella? And where do you draw your inspiration from in general?"

A: "It was inspired partly by Gene Wolfe’s novella The Fifth Head of Cerberus. I think that’s such a deft little novella — all three parts of it, but the first part especially — and is really satisfying to read. I think I began there, with an admiration for that book, and then let it take me somewhere slightly different. Lurking in the background are aspects of the world and character characteristics of my novel Immobility, though it’s set in a somewhat different place."

* Coode Street Podcast Interview 

"Gary K. Wolfe spends 10 minutes with Brian Evenson to discuss his relationship to genre, reading catastrophe fiction, the rewards of reading Gene Wolfe and Algernon Blackwood, and his forthcoming collection, The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell."

• Fact checking: "cacogen" = "an anti-social person"? Checks out.  Lexicon Urthus notes this but James was never fully conscious of it.
• "Jolenta" and violet flowers? Checks out. Lexicon Urthus associates the name with "Jolie" but it definitely is also possible to associate with Iolantha which means "violet flower." Also with names like Jolanta and Yolanda.
