Synopsis

An all-new collection from an American literary icon

The circus comes to town . . . and a man gets to go to the stars.

A young girl on a vacation at the sea meets the man of her dreams. Who just happens to be dead. And an immortal pirate.

A swordfighter pens his memoirs . . . and finds his pen is in fact mightier than the sword.

Welcome to Gene Wolfe's playground, a place where genres blend, and a genius's imagination straps you in for the ride of your life.

The Wolfe at the Door is a brand-new collection from one of America's premiere literary giants, showcasing some material been seen before. Short stories, yes, but also poems, essays, and ephemera that gives us a window into the mind of a literary powerhouse whose world view changed generations of readers in their perception of the universe.
