Gene Wolfe is probably best known for his "Book of the New Sun" and connected series, but my favourite book of his is Latro in the Mist, which combines "Soldier in the Mist" and "Soldier of Arete"
They tell the story of Latro, a roman mercenary fighting on Greece, who has suffered a would in the head. It means he has lost all long-term memory, so he writes everything down in a diary to re-read each day - but it has also given him the ability to see the gods.
Lupine Nuncio is a blog for news about Wolfe - apparently he's working on a third Soldier book, Soldier of Sidon
