It was mentioned in one of Fantastic Metropolis's end of the year round-ups. Mike Moorcock got various authors to contribute and it was an interesting exercise, not least because quite a few of them seemed to be having more fun making up books than recommending genuine ones. The quotes from Wolfe in the recommendation were something along the lines of "Note to myself: am I being too recondite?" which seemed a little too deliberately bathetic to be true. ----- Original Message -----
