Subject: RE: (urth) How would you rate Wolfe as a short story writer?

Having read all of Wolfe's short stories, except for recent ones published 
in odd and hard to find (expensive) books, I would say this: There are two 
kinds. Wolfe has written some fluffy, often funny pieces, like "The 
Headless Man." These are fun to read, but hardly "great." On the other 
hand, there are some excellent stories of full literary quality, and I 
think they are fully on a part with his longer work.
