Publisher's summary

Perhaps no living author of imaginative fiction has earned the awards, accolades, respect, and literary reputation of Gene Wolfe. His prose has been called subtle and brilliant, inspiring not just lovers of fantasy and science fiction, but listeners of every stripe, transcending genre and defying preconceptions.

In this volume, a select group of Wolfe's fellow authors pay tribute to the award-winning creator of The Book of the New Sun, The Fifth Head of Cerberus, Soldier of the Mist, The Wizard Knight, and many others, with entirely new stories written specifically to honor the writer hailed by The Washington Post as "one of America's finest."

Absolute Respect

All of the authors that share their short stories in this volume humbly show their great respect towards Mr. Wolfe through their style, subjects, and character development. Full of humor (light and dark) and mental twists, this is a group of short stories I appreciate and enjoy.
