Good news, my brother and sister Lupophiles.
GW has finished the first draft of his next novel, The WIZARD KNIGHT, and is now about 130 pages into the second draft. Because of its considerable length, he's anticipating (or at least hoping) it'll be published in two massive volumes.
Given the narrative complexity of SHORT SUN, I asked about WK's point-of-view, and Wolfe responded: "The narrator recounts his experiences in first, but switches to third to reconstruct events he did not witness."
So keep your fingers crossed, and who knows, depending on how long it takes GW to finish drafts two and three, and then turnaround time on the publishing end, perhaps we'll be seeing the new work sometime late next year or early the following.
In the meantime, I'll be dreaming of Aelfrice and all the likely Wolfean wonders soon to be found there.
