(urth) Gene Wolfe

[Gerry Quinn]

Very sorry to hear it.  Though having not heard anything in the past 
year since he entered a care facility, I cannot say it came entirely as 
a shock.

By chance I was shopping for Wolfe books at Amazon this morning when I 
heard the bad news.  Picked up a collection I did not have, although I 
have read most of the stories in it.  (I received a gift card as a 
birthday present, my usual habit is to browse second-hand bookshops and 
see what fate brings me.)  Reading some of them now.  Had not read 
Forleson, one of my favourites, in a very long time.
