In folklore the bad Kikimora from the forest is married to Leshy, who is surrounded by wolves and bears. Bax thinks a bear might have killed the first one, but he does see wolves. …

If you followed the other posts, I was getting at something else, of course: Morcaine and Arnthor (and everyone, really) are collapsing into one dream-like figure engaged in a pre-…

Well, he named Eleanor Bold from the Barchester books, no? I think some of Wolfe's shorts are very much low mimesis near future SF and character driven in the basic manner of Trol…

A few quick points which may or may not be worth anything. It seems to me that Wolfe looked at cultures with "unexplained" phenomena and saw that the Algonquin and other Northeaste…

One more thing I wanted to briefly reiterate, which I have said in part in my videos, but I DO think some of the criticism aimed at Wolfe is ideological in nature. When I think of …

Sure thing ... it seems as though it has generated a lot of social media activity for Wolfe, which is awesome ... I am actually surprised how much word in the right place can sway …
