On the traffic jam stories in ST: I remember Wolfe
saying in his original note on "Bluesberry Jam" in
SPACE OPERA that an actual incident involving a
protracted traffic jam inspired the story. And re the
"Hey, I'm dead!" cliche in "Ain't You 'Most Done?":
Wolfe has done this rather often, but as a conclusion
to the collection, it has a usefully redemptive
significance after much preceding gloom: Benson seems Heavenbound.
