Peace

<p>Originally published in 1975, <i>Peace </i>is a spellbinding, brilliant tour de force of the imagination. The melancholy memoir of Alden Dennis Weer, an embittered old man living out his last days in a small midwestern town, the novel reveals a miraculous dimension as the narrative unfolds. For Weer's imagination has the power to obliterate time and reshape reality, transcending even death itself. Powerfully moving and uncompromisingly honest, <i>Peace </i>ranks alongside the finest literary works of our time.</p><p>Hailed as "one of the literary giants of SF" by the <i>Denver Post</i>, Gene Wolfe has repeatedly won the field's highest honors, including the Nebula, the Hugo, and the World Fantasy awards. <i>Peace </i>is Gene Wolfe's first full-length novel, a work that shows the genius that later flourished in such acclaimed works as <i>The Fifth Head of Cerberus </i>and <i>The Book of The New Sun</i>.</p>
