Signed and numbered issue of this excellent collection of stories by the ever so tricky Gene Wolfe: “it is possible to claim that Wolfe's importance for the field lay in a spongelike ability to assimilate generic models and devices, and in the quality of the transformations he effected upon that material” (SFE).
