{"product_id":"9780964279506","title":"Lexicon Urthus, Second Edition","description":"Lexicon Urthus is an alphabetical dictionary for the complete Urth Cycle by Gene Wolfe: The Shadow of the Torturer; The Claw of the Conciliator; The Sword of the Lictor; The Citadel of the Autarch; the sequel Urth of the New Sun; the novella Empires of Foliage and Flower; the short stories \"The Cat,\" \"The Map,\" and \"The Old Woman Whose Rolling Pin Is the Sun\"; and Gene Wolfe's own commentaries in The Castle of the Otter. The first edition was nominated for a World Fantasy Award. This second edition, available for the first time in paperback, includes 300 new entries. When the first edition was published, Science Fiction Age said: \"Lexicon Urthus makes a perfect gift for any fan of [Wolfe's] work, and from the way his words sell, it appears that there are many deserving readers out there waiting.\" Gary K. Wolfe, in Locus, said: \"A convenient and well researched glossary of names and terms. . . . It provides enough of a gloss on the novels that it almost evokes Wolfe's distant future all by itself. . . . It can provide both a useful reference and a good deal of fun.\" Donald Keller said, in the New York Review of Science Fiction: \"A fruitful product of obsession, this is a thorough . . . dictionary of the Urth Cycle. . . . Andre-Driussi's research has been exhaustive, and he has discovered many fascinating things . . . [it is] head-spinning to confront a myriad of small and large details, some merely interesting, others jawdropping.\"","brand":"Sirius Fiction","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47787643470064,"sku":"9780964279506","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780964279506_p0.jpg?v=1763874810","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780964279506","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
