New Wolfe story onlineWhorl

A few months ago, I urged Ellen Datlow to run a Gene Wolfe story on SCI FICTION, and lo--whether because of my suggestion or without reference to it--she has now done so. The story is new, it's called "Copperhead", and it can be found here: http://www.scifi.com/scifiction/originals/originals_archive/wolfe/wolfe1.html --Nick Gevers.

It's found in the lower right hand corner at the hypertext link "by Gene Wolfe". Hey, Nick, do you know any other on-line editors who might be able to run pieces by the man?

Wow, I hated this story. It had all my least favorite Lupine elements: phonetic dialect, misogyny, Christianity, and an incomprehensible ending. Did anyone like it? *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.

I liked it. Didn't understand the last paragraph but everything else seemed fairly straight forward. At least I could figure out the phonetic dialect this time. Many times I didn't know what Pig was saying. Dennis/Endy http://home.mindspring.com/~endymion9/index.htm *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.
