has gloss | eng: Kingdoms of the Wall is a 1992 novel by Robert Silverberg. Although the reader is gradually introduced to the fact that the plot is set on a faraway planet inhabited by an alien race and (as is revealed only at the very end) in an undefined future, it is not actually a science fiction or fantasy novel. Rather, its subject is the perpetual communal quest for knowledge in the face of hardship and wonders, which through the revelation of an unexpected and devastating truth results in the deconstruction and slaying of gods. It is probably best described as a Bildungsroman. |
