Wolfe, whose tetralogy The Book of the New Sun was the most
acclaimed science fiction work of the 1980s, offered his second
collection of short fiction in 1990 to universal acclaim. This is a
hefty volume of over 30 unforgettable stories in a variety of
genres-- SF, fantasy, horror, mainstream-many of them offering
variations on themes and situations found in folklore and fairy
tales, and including two stories, "The Cat" and "The Map," which
are set in the universe of his New Sun novels. Wolfe's
deconstructions/reconstructions are provocative, multilayered, and
resonant. This embarrassment of literary riches is a must for all
Gene Wolfe fans, and anyone who loves a good tale beautifully
told.
