“On the heights above the river Xzan, at the site of certain ancient ruins, Iucounu the Laughing Magician had built a manse to his private taste: an eccentric structure of steep gables, balconies, sky-walks, cupolas, together with three spiral green glass towers through which the red sunlight shone in twisted glints and peculiar colors.”
― Jack Vance, The Eyes of the Overworld

Always loved Vance, Gene Wolfe, and others who dealt with the last days of earth in fantastic realism. Not a literal projection but symbolic since we don't know anything except that the sun will grow red etc. Mine is not some literal projection, but a fun exploration of Vance's writings in a fantastic realist vein.
