Peace

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 final days in a small Midwestern town, the novel gradually reveals a miraculous hidden dimension as the narrative unfolds. Weer’s imagination possesses the power to obliterate time and reshape reality, transcending even death itself.

Powerful, moving, and uncompromisingly honest, Peace ranks among the finest literary works of its era. Hailed as “one of the literary giants of SF” by The Denver Post, Gene Wolfe earned many of the field’s highest honors, including the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy Awards.

Peace was Wolfe’s first full-length novel, a work that showcases the genius that would later flourish in acclaimed books such as Home Fires and The Book of the New Sun.
