| Feb 18, 2021 at 23:46 | comment | added | tgdavies | Are those words from Gene Wolfe really made up? In "Words Weird and Wonderful" (from "Castle of the Otter" and also in "Castle of Days") he says of "Shadow Of the Torturer" "all the words are real". In an appendix to SotT he says "I might have easily saved myself ... labor by [using] invented terms; in no case have I done so" | |
