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?)
