(urth) I'm cheating

I'm using the list to cheat.

A friend of mine is an editor for a small online journal. He needs some content asap on an issue about "memory" because it turns out that he can't use some of the submissions he had lined up. The theme of the issue is "memory" and "public memory" (broadly defined), so I thought I'd try to write a quick piece on _Peace_ (heh) over the weekend. He needs it by Monday.

The cheating part: many of you know Wolfe's short stories much better than I do, so I'd like to pick your brains about which stories might deal with memory in ways similar to _Peace_. For me, that means where memory is fraught with disturbance, pain, incompleteness, regret, etc. (You can see the tack I'm taking toward _Peace_.) Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to scatter in some references to the shorter works rather than bringing in Severian/Horn/Latro/Able's much more tangled relations to memory...I just don't have the time or the space for that.

And, of course, any and all credit will be given once the thing comes out...if I can actually crank out something decent in three days.
