The pleasure of Gene Wolfe is the gradual unfolding of the setting and the discovery of what is going on. At the risk of giving away too much, this poignant tale of a young man's pursuit of an older woman manages to incorporate an homage to Asimov's three laws of robotics, and a meditation on travel and identity, all while tackling the big issue of mankind's passing on".

Dann, 1976 The Island Of Dr. Death And Others, 1980 --novella : 1977 Nebula --novella : 1977 Locus /5 --/ cool sf story In typical Gene Wolfe dense, but rewarding style - a bit overlong story about the hobo character who turns out to be a type of "Wizard of Oz"; with many psychological ramifications. The whole story is told from the blind boy's point of view, so it requires a bit of an effort. review: 09-Jul-06 (read in 1992) ---------------------------------------------- "The Fifth Head Of Cerberus" © Orbit # 10, 1972 The Fifth Head Of Cerberus, 1972 --novel : 1973 Locus /11 --novella : 1973 Hugo --novella : 1973 Nebula --novella : 1973 Locus /3 --novella : 1999 Locus All-Time Poll /10 --/ cool sf novella --/ style award "From the Cradle" © Shelf Life, ed.
