Wolfe's Funny Stuff

I've always been very fond of "How I Lost the Second World War and Helped Stop the German Invasion". And I also rather like "The Rubber Bend". I'm glad so many people have mentioned "Forlesen" as a favorite lately. That's long been one of my favorite stories: but it seems almost unknown. Of course, a Wolfe novella is almost a guaranteed masterpiece: is there another writer so proficient at the novella form? "Tracking Song". "Seven American Nights". "The Death of Doctor Island". "The Eyeflash Miracles"! All three parts of _The =46ifth Head of Cerberus_.
