Well said Mr. Wynn. Discussions like this, like any discussion where you know what someone will say before they say it, get boring fast. More and more, I'm sure this distinction i…

"Idiot" is an ableist slur... Some of the most vulgar societies were the most stable. Walking down any given street in Augustus' Rome would have disgusted us. The graffiti in Pomp…

What is the Facebook group? I've been reading Clark Ashton Smith. Which is excellent. It's obvious to me how much he influenced Wolfe. I've been so impressed I've read a few of th…

To me, Sinew is one of the most interesting characters in Short Sun. How his character is perceived in the narrative vs what's he's actually like. And how Wolfe likes to play aroun…

This is pretty neat. Three of Wolfe's short stories; The Tree Is My Hat, Pulp Cover, King Rat, were produced as radio plays. I have yet to listen to any of them, so I can't say if …

On a sorta related point, GRRM bringing attention to Wolfe is a good opportunity. With the popularity of the Game of Thrones show, HBO is working wtih GRRM to develop more shows. B…
