Saw two nice reviews/discussions of Wolfe in my Google Alerts:
http://www.firstthings.com/article/2007/03/the-distant-suns-of-gene-wolfe-50
http://www.strangehorizons.com/reviews/2009/07/the_very_best_o.shtml

(The first one in particular makes me want to read beyond _Latro in the Mist_.)

And on Australian Radio National, a review of the _The very best_, though
finds him "too hard".
