... what to read till the next Gene Wolfe book comes?

(And by the way, does anyone -- Wombat, this question has your name 
written all over it -- know what he's working on now? "The Book of 
the Old Sun?" "Island of the Death Doctor?" "The Sixth, Seventh, and 
Eighth Heads of Cerberus?" "By the Pricking of my Thumbs?" "Paradise 
Misplaced?" -- there's _another_ topic, "titles for fictional Wolfe 
books...")

According to Robert Borski, Wolfe's next project is a
complete-in-one-volume Big Fat Fantasy Novel (around 1100 pages) with the
title _The Wizard Knight_. That is literally all I know about it. I don't
believe he has delivered it to Hartwell yet; David usually mentions such
things to me just to see me writhe in pain. 

_Soldier in Sidon_ is apparently next in the queue after that. I want Wolfe
to write an Oz novel.

I've never heard of Soldier in Sidon, so I went searching just now on 
Amazon, and it came back with six items, none with the title in question.  
So, could someone please give some information on this book for me?

Thanks Much,

Darryl
