I wouldn't exactly call Wolfe a 'new' talent. I was reading him in high
school a long time ago... He has just never made (or wanted) the spotlight
before New Sun came out.

Calling his work 'SF' or 'Fantasy' is invalid. He has written a major work
of literature that happens to use some of the settings of the genres. It is
in my mind the most important piece of literature I have seen published since
Tolkien, and I think that it is better than Tolkien (heresy?)
