    A collection of what Wolfe, in his introduction, call "my most obscure work" and "mostly stories that I feel are good, but that have received little or no praise." I have to put myself in the "no praise" camp here. There are two tales from the Liavek shared world series, two attempts at Sherlockian SF that were so convoluted in their explanations, I thought they must be parodies, some New Yorker submissions that try very hard to emulate that publication's "make sure nothing happens" style, and so on. Wolfe is simply too clever a writer me. Even when he explains what he was doing in the story "Beech Hill", I still don't get it.

    Back in the day, Wolfe could really write. The rich language, and unique characters, are still new and interesting.
