For a short Wolfe read, I quite enjoyed Pirate Freedom. Again with the unreliable narrator and WTF is really happening? But still pretty good.

Oh cool, you must be picking up the collection. Yeah he wrote three stories with variations of the title.

Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories: is just ok. Something interesting looms in that one, but it feels like more of a sketch. Definitely an early story.

The other two are much more interesting: The Death of Doctor Island, and Doctor of Death Island. There are some other gems in that collection too; definitely worth looking into. I also try to read PEACE every couple of years or so, now that I had the "aha" moment about the narrator that reviewers kept alluding to but never explaining. But that one isn't SF. It's more Horror meets Tristram Shandy.
