Incredible tales from a writer who challenged and amazed. Who revolutionized the genre. And whose stories will stand the test of time." [publisher copy] "Wolfe mixes pulp adventure, ghost stories, and noir with self-reference, meta-fiction, unreliable narrators, and puns. . . A highly flattering career retrospective of a postmodern fabulist disguised as a mild-mannered SF writer."--Publishers Weekly. "If any writer from within genre fiction ever merited the designation Great Author, it is surely Wolfe. . . Reads like Dickens, Proust, Kipling, Chesterton, Borges, and Nabokov rolled into one."--The Washington Post Book World. "Wolfe is a sophisticated stylist, and has more in common with writers such as Jorge Luis Borges than almost any science fiction writer both in terms of craft and themes."--The Boston Globe. "Wolfe is our Melville."--Ursula K. Le Guin. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Fine collection, quite presentable.
