Back when I was re-reading Book of the New Sun I was wondering whether you could turn Black 4.0 into a dye as part of a Severian costume.

One of my favorite Banks techniques is the use is slightly archaic or unusual words rooted in specific human culture as a way of assisting the reader in building an alien-yet-human imagination of scenery and setting. Gene Wolfe is famous for this, but I think Banks is just as good at it.
They shared their eyrie with the state coach of the Mythoclass, a cluttered army of statues, and a jumble of assorted chests, cases and cupboards packed with treasure from a dozen great houses. Astil Tremerst Keiver selected a roquelaure from a tall chiffonier, closed the cabinet's door and admired himself in the mirror. Yes, the cloak looked very fine on him, very fine indeed. He flourished it, pirouetting, drew his ceremonial rifle from its scabbard, and then made a circuit of the room, around the grand state coach, making

Recently finished "The Infinite and The Divine" (fun read) and "The Invisible Life of Addie Larue" (loved it), currently reading the second half of The Book of New Sun by Gene Wolfe.

Looking for recommendations to build my 2026 reading list!

@rereadingwolfe.bsky.social did someone say "oubliette?" Thought you'd enjoy

This is an oubliette, the labyrinth’s full of them.

Really, I didn’t know that.

Oh don’t sound so smart, you don’t even know what an oubliette is.

Do you?

Yes, it’s a place to put people to forget about them…

“Oubliette”

Cover for Burroughs' Thuvia, Maid of Mars. The titular Thuvia stands in front of an alien creature that looks like a large fuzzy reptile with dog ears. Cover for Vance's Blue World. A tentacled monster that looks vaguely mechanical reaches towards a man and a woman. The woman lays on a rock while the man wields an ax.

reading Gene Wolfe's The Sword of the Lictor to this album (Dialect by Atlas of Green) partly inspired by his writings and... yeah it totally tracks with the vibe of The Book of the New Sun 📖😌🎶
the album cover of Atlas of Green by Dialect, a gray-to-yellow gradient background reminiscent of a sunset for the background, a large forest green circle across the gradient reminiscent of a sun or moon the cover of the sword & citadel ebook, a green skinned warrior rides some kind of an armored black war beast as it rears
