(urth) Evil Guest Reviewed in Washington Post SF Roundup

The Strange Horizons review captures a great deal of what I think about
Wolfe, especially recent works such as "Memorare," _Pirate Freedom_ and now
_Evil Guest_.  All have hidden depths that make them well worth exploring
and reward rereading, but am I the only one who feels that Wolfe is on the
verge (if not past it) of making the initial reading experience off-putting?
