stories in Best of Gene Wolfe

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The purpose of this sort of collection to me is to loan out to friends who are unfamiliar with Wolfe. This way, they can experience the best of Wolfe without getting detracted by some of the more difficult or middling works. 

Personally, I'm frustrated by a "best of" collection that does not include "Counting Cats in Zanzibar".
