About this listen

Interlibrary Loan is the brilliant follow-up to A Borrowed Man: the final work of fiction from multi-award winner and national literary treasure Gene Wolfe

Hundreds of years in the future our civilization is shrunk down but we go on. There is advanced technology, there are robots.

And there are clones.

E. A. Smithe is a borrowed person, his personality an uploaded recording of a deceased mystery writer. Smithe is a piece of property, not a legal human.

As such, Smithe can be loaned to other branches. Which he is. Along with two fellow reclones, a cookbook and romance writer, they are shipped to Polly’s Cove, where Smithe meets a little girl who wants to save her mother, a father who is dead but perhaps not.

And another E.A. Smithe… who definitely is.

Critic Reviews

<p>Praise for Gene Wolfe<br><br>“Wolfe is our Melville.”—Ursula K. Le Guin<br><br>“If any writer from within genre fiction ever merited the designation Great Author, it is surely Wolfe . . . [who] reads like Dickens, Proust, Kipling, Chesterton, Borges, and Nabokov rolled into one.”—<i>The Washington Post Book World<br><br></i>“One of the literary giants of science fiction.”—<i>The Denver Post</i><br><br>“Gene Wolfe is as good a writer as there is today...I feel a little bit like a musical contemporary attempting to tell people what's good about Mozart.”—<i>The Chicago Sun-Times</i><br><br>“Wolfe is sf’s greatest novelist, and overall one of America’s finest.”—<i>The Washington Post Book World</i><br><br>“Wolfe is a sophisticated stylist, and has more in common with writers such as Jorge Luis Borges than almost any science fiction writer both in terms of craft and themes.”<i>—The Boston Globe</i><br><br>“Quite possibly the most important writer in the sf field.”—<i>The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction</i></p>
