I am a fellow matriculant at Texas A&M and a couple of years ago I met Bill Page at his home, the infamous Monkey House. Bill is one of the curators of the University's SF collections, and listed "Easter Sunday" in his bibliographic history AGGIELAND/FANTASYLAND, presumably compiled from the original local and university publications.

In this morning's mail - Dear Rebecca, I recant. I probably did write it, back in 1951. I wrote a few short pieces for the Commentator — that was what got me started as a writer. So I read my own work from almost sixty years ago without recognizing it. Considering that the gentleman is hugging 80, I suppose it's not surprising that a few of these early little "gems" from the days before he even thought of himself as a writer might have slipped his mind. And that includes the SH pastiche. That was him, too. Sorry to mislead you all. Rebecca On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 3:01 AM, Jeff Wilson <jwilson at io.com> wrote:

Has anyone determined yet whether this site is legal? They've got a huge library of stuff up there...

Fortunately, I suspect the actual harm these ?publishers and authors is almost nil since (looking them over) almost anyone who would download these stories would prefer to own the books anyway. They're probably more greatly harmed by used book stores.

I put it together after hours of laborious internetting, but the earliest stories on the list (until now) were from 1970. Given that "Easter Sunday", like a couple of the stories in Young Wolfe, was originally published in 1951, I wonder how many uncollected stories there are from the 1950s and 1960s. Oh, and please let me know of any errors or omissions in the list.

Also, out of curiosity I downloaded Nightside of the Long Sun and had my suspicions confirmed. The text was merely OCR'd and never cleaned up. So these texts are of limited value even as a reference tool. One would be better off using Google Books. J.

I would point out that all the entries in Google Books are either not available or cut you off at roughly half the contents - usually around 150-200 pages, I'd guess, based on how far the downloading scripts get. OCR errors are annoying, but at least everything is accessible. -- gwern _______________________________________________

Which definitely puts itself forth as by Gene Wolfe. The style is similar, but the twist strikes me as not particularly in Wolfe's vein, but also not implausible enough that I could confidently say it wasn't Wolfe.

But are you/Wolfe sure he didn't write it?

Reading this story sparked a major deja-vu moment for me. I read a story decades ago in Isaac Asimov's "100 Great Fantasy Short Short Stories" that follows this story almost exactly. After some digging around on the net (I don't have the book anymore) I found that the story I remembered is "Displaced Person" by Eric Frank Russell, originally written for Weird Tales in 1948. I can't find it posted anywhere online. As I recall in the Russell story it wasn't a priest who sits down next to the exile, and in keeping with the time it was written, the man at first mistakes the stranger for a refugee from Europe. The twist was exactly the same, except the stranger just says who he really is. I remember it as better written than "Easter Sunday", which I actually hope now wasn't written by Wolfe. _______________________________________________
