That's the bitch of writing a masterpiece -- nothing else will ever
satisfy. His subsequent multi-volume novels have their moments but
never the penetrating atmosphere of Severian's world.
Steve--his first story collection' The Island of Doctor Death and
Other Stories and Other Stories' (no typo) is his best short fiction.
