Wolfe's books just seem to get more and more complex, more and more artful, more and more entrancing.

We were talking about _Short Sun_ over the weekend (NYRSF work weekend just finished) and I commented that _On Blue's Waters_ might be Wolfe's best book since _Shadow of the Torturer_. Hartwell responded that _Return to the Whorl_ might be Wolfe's best book ever. So I beat him up and stole the manuscripts. Wombat, a.k.a.
