They are very few and most are deeply hidden in the bowels of the internet but there are a handful of websites out there that pay tribute to the science-fiction and fantasy author Gene Wolfe. Maybe this is just another one destined to be lost in the bulk of user generated content that litters our virtual highways like bad realtor billboards. Maybe not. Still, I wanted to do this blog to have a place of my own to collect all the information and sources I find on my favorite author and compile them into one spot for if nothing else my own enjoyment. Perhaps for other Wolfe Fans this can be a sort of crossroads or gateway to the sources they are looking for. I do not know Gene Wolfe nor do I ever expect to meet him. I simply have read fourteen of his books already and plan to eventually read them all. I say that to set the expectations I would want any reader of this blog to have that this is just a project and just another place to discuss the writings of Gene Wolfe.
The name Hoof & Hide comes from, of course, Horn’s children from “On Blue’s Waters: Volume One of ‘The Book of the Short Sun’”. This blog is powered by WordPress and delicious.com. Feel free to visit my other blog mraf.com.
