Book 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 premier literary giants, showcasing some material never 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.
