And marked as such!

I'll take this opportunity to ask a Wolfe-related question, things have
seemed a bit quiet lately.  How many of you have read *The Devil in a Forest
*?  How is it?  I recently finished acquiring all of Wolfe's novels and am
going to pick a short one for an upcoming trip.

Still on Mount Toberead, for me. Most recent acquisitions were a bunch of
the recent eBook editions. I can't remember if I got it in that format (I
do have the pBook...).

Dear Antonin,

I did like it, I think it has the same flavour as his best works. Very 
subtle, with a lot of beautiful ambiguities,
e.g. the bandit Wat and Sir Ganelon (the king's man to supervise the 
forest) seem to be one and the same.

I have read it, some years ago. I found it pretty enjoyable. It is 
slightly 'easier reading' than most Wolfe, because a lot of the 
puzzling elements are explained in the text rather than being left 
for decades of further online debate.

A lot of people seem to read it as a right-wing parable, warning 
against the dangers of redistribution. Not sure about that myself; it 
seems to me to be more about mistaken perceptions and the 
disappointing realizations of leaving childhood.

best,

Mo
