I'm afraid it is probably a vain hope. One interviewer had the cheek to ask Gene Wolfe how long he
thought or hoped his books would be read. And Gene Wolfe actually had an answer: 300 years.
 
We won't have Gene WOlfe with us for too much longer. But we must accept that he hopes his work can 
be read long after his death in the same light it has been read for the past 40 years.
