Uncollected 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.

Of these, I've read "Petting Zoo," "The Tree Is My Hat," and "The
Walking Sticks."

"Petting Zoo" is a pretty light story, picking up Wolfe's interest in
the possibility of genetically re-creating extinct animals (in this
case, a dinosaur).

"The Walking Sticks" and "The Tree Is My Hat" are both horror stories.=20
"The Walking Sticks" draws on Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.  "Tree" is set in
the Caribbean, if I remember correctly. The editor of 999, in which it
was first published, says something like "The title may sound strange,
but by the end of the story, you'll know what it means."  Well ... I'm
not entirely sure I do.

Hope this helps!

John
