(urth) I'm cheating

[Craig Brewer]

Matthew, my friend is a historian, and my first thought was to do something on Crowley's Aegypt books...although I think that would be impossible in three days. I'm much more familiar with Wolfe, thanks largely to lurking here for so long. But I appreciate the recommendation (and will probably end up reading it again tonight while I put off writing).

Not Wolfe, but a perfect complement would be "Snow" by John Crowley.  I found it in "20 Years of the Year's Best Science Fiction" (Dozois).

If I remember correctly, "A Recording" is also in The Very Best of Gene Wolfe, which will probably be easier to find.
