I've always been very fond of "How I Lost the Second World War and
Helped Stop the German Invasion".  And I also rather like "The Rubber
Bend".

I'm glad so many people have mentioned "Forlesen" as a favorite
lately.  That's long been one of my favorite stories: but it seems
almost unknown.  Of course, a Wolfe novella is almost a guaranteed
masterpiece: is there another writer so proficient at the novella
form?  "Tracking Song".  "Seven American Nights".  "The Death of
Doctor Island".  "The Eyeflash Miracles"!  All three parts of _The
=46ifth Head of Cerberus_.
