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.

Hi all,

Can any of you enlighten me about the various short story collections of
Wolfe? How would you rank them and which ones have overlap in content? I =
=3D
was
looking for _Castle of Days_ recently and stumbled upon _Endangered
Species_, and I imagine I should have just picked it up, but didn't know
what would be inside (of course that's part of the pleasure of a Wolfe =3D
book
I guess, right?)

Can any of you enlighten me?

(I guess the reason I'm wary is because I generally don't like short
stories. I usually prefer novels and there are only a handful of authors
whose short fiction I enjoy...though I would be surprised if Wolfe =3D
didn't
also turn out to be one of these. Still...I always hum and ha before =3D
picking
up a short story collection.)

Thanks,

T.
