[net.sf-lovers] Islands beyond Doctors and Deaths.

    I have seen in the latest Books in Print that Gene Wolfe has yet
another new ( ? ) book out, The Wolfe Archipelago. Does anyone happen
to know what is in it? To name a few of the choices, old short
stories, new short stories, a novel, more background on Urth...
   Also, I noticed in a short story index today that Wolfe has had
numerous stories published in anthologies edited by someone named R.
Elwood. ( E.g., Dystopian Visions, Showcase, Tomorrow's Alternatives,
and with Virginia Kidd, Saving World. [or maybe Saving Word?] ) Who
is R. Elwood?

	The "Wolfe Archipelago" is a collection of three short stories
	  "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories"
	  "The Death of Doctor Island"
	  "The Doctor of Death Island"
as an added bonus, if you read the intro, you will find another story
	  "Death of the Island Doctor"

	R. Elwood is Roger Elwood, who was producing anthologies seemingly
every week during the early and middle 70's. I haven't heard much from him
recently, but that might not mean anything...
