No problem, I appreciate your close reading. I was on the lookout for
things like the House of 31 February and got overzealous. I am glad you
are reading them over! My pace has accelerated lately so I am bound to make
some mistakes that need editing and rethinking.
Waiting for a primary source to arrive in the mail with the Philip Rahv
essay mentioned in "My Book" and I will finish up the write up on Redwood
Coast Roamer/Four Wolves as one entry, do an entry on Bibliomen, the
four novellas I skipped in the 70s (two of which are going to be a bit of a
nightmare), a New Sun Essay which I probably won't post on the list, and I
will be halfway through. Quite a relief. Anything you notice please bring
it to our attention.
Wolfe's short fiction in the 90s seems unusually difficult after the
relative "lightness" of most of the work in the 80s, but he was not as
prolific in that decade. After Short Sun I think his short fiction became
somewhat easier and more thematic again, with a few notable exceptions that
approach his most difficult work.
