I wrote up a piece on how ten-year-old Gene Wolfe was shaped and formed after stumbling upon The Pocket Book of Science-Fiction (1943).

This is a highly specialized paper, not really a review of the book. It gives a very brief spoiler-filled synopsis of each story, and then looks into how Wolfe's own later fiction seems to have been influenced by that story. As such, it would be out of place as a Goodreads review, and it needs a wider audience than even this blog, so it is published over at Ultan's Library.
