Originally published in 1975, Peace 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.
Powerful, moving, and uncompromisingly honest, Peace ranks alongside the finest literary works of our time. Hailed as "one of the literary giants of SF" by The Denver Post, Gene Wolfe has repeatedly won the field's highest honors, including the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy awards. Peace is Gene Wolfe's first full-length novel, a work that shows the genius that later flourished in such acclaimed works as Home Fires and The Book of the New Sun.
