Whos a better writer; Gene Wolfe or George R. R. Martin?

> if you don't want to reread the same paragraph five times
That's a feature, not a bug. I read the New Sun series twice and noticed so many small details I missed the first time, and I'm sure if I reread it again I'll notice even more things.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 24 02:01:30 2021 No.18307239 >>18307203 Nope. Gene Wolfe goes beyond just paperback fantasy. He's on the level of many writers that are seen as literary. Martin never leaves genre.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 24 04:05:17 2021 No.18307680 >>18307239 He's literally just a crappier Nabokov if he wrote catholic sci-fi.
