I received a letter from Mr. Wolfe recently, and he expressed that his schedule was full. He also sent me a nifty copy of Strange Birds signed and personalized as a 'thank you' fo…

For me, _An Evil Guest_ started out as a real page turner and kept my interest all the way through. And I usually become bored with books in a very short time. Wolfe and Jack Van…

I would rather have seen Eyebem and The Changeling than On the Train and Parkroads, but that's just my taste. Don't get me wrong, I can see the appeal of both stories, but just do…

I have read all these stories and own all the collections they are in. I'm not sure if Wolfe just didn't have enough uncollected material to do a 'new' collection, or if this was …

I can think of at least one reason for Severian's meeting Ultan, and that is their discussion of the Alzabo and the sharing of consciousness with the use of the analeptic alzabo. …

I second "The Toy Theater" Fernando. I have always loved that one. Something about it reminds me so much of a Jack Vance story. Maybe that's why I like it. Another one I would i…

This is a bit off subject, I know, but it does pertain to Katherine, at least the one at Severian's raising ceremony. It has always seemed to me, even the first time I read Shadow…

A story by Wolfe not yet mentioned that fits your criteria beautifully is 'The Detective of Dreams'. Contains both a detective and a religious theme; religion is central to the st…

Indeed Vance is dictating his auto-biography into tape recorder and his new live-in caregiver is transcribing these tapes to paper. I for one cannot wait for the end result. Vanc…

I wish Wolfe would write as fast as King. The sad truth is that Wolfe is getting up there in age. Already, my other favorite SF/F writer, Jack Vance, has retired (although he is …

Even if he downloaded the files off the net, they were still originally intended for the blind, and the seller still intends to profit from Wolfe's works. Either way, I see no dif…

Thanks for everyone's input on this. I had always assumed that the yellow color came from oil or gasoline etc. leaking into the sea. The only thing that, to me, disputes the poll…

I also just emailed the person to ask about the CDs. And yes, it is possible that they would fit on 2 CDs. You see, MP3's are 1/10th the size of regular WAV. files found on regul…

I also thought this was ridiculous. One editor's opinion does little to convince me. I think Wolfe would be published no matter when he began submitting. The comment about his w…
