Well, I'm quite fond of _Sandman_. It's very easy to overpraise it, but
there's some really first-rate work in it, especially in the scattered
short stories. Wolfe is, by evidence, a reader of it, of course; he had a
story in the _Sandman_ prose collection a couple of years back. (One of his
folk music stories--does anyone have a list of all of these?)
