A good story--I tend to be guided in assessing these short Wolfe tales by the strength of their style; "The Walking Sticks" is written in that annoying quasi-folksy voice that Wolfe too often affects these days, whereas "Pocketsful" shows off his rich, mythic diction rather well. We need more of that from him... --Nick Gevers. ____________________________________________________________ Nokia Game is on again.
