Uncaged

Hi there, I just read Uncaged a story by Wolfe collected in 'Rags and Bones' about a shape shifting lady. It seems a rather straightforward story but maybe it isn't. Neil 'American Gods' Gaiman is one of the collectors. What was his relationship with Gene Wolfe? He acted once the great defender of George 'Winter where art thou' Martin after complaints by fans about the next installment who feared Martin would do a 'Robert Jordan' on them.

Thanks, the special F & SF issue dedicated tot Wolfe is in my possession. I never read it though. I am not a great fan of Folio editions. For instance the Kipling Short Stories I like better in the old Macmillan edition with the elephant and swastika, the Folio's are too big. Op 21-9-2019 om 20:51 schreef Fred Kiesche:
