Group read: Seven American Nights


From WolfeWiki:

Nadan Jafferzadeh, a rich Iranian tourist, has disappeared after a week visiting America (which has been reduced to a poor third-world country). The only clue to what has happened to him is his travel journal. But can it be relied on? It seems to describe only six nights in America, not seven.

A novella by Gene Wolfe, and subject of discussion next week on Useful Phrases. It’s apparently a story that does not have a consensus reading. The story is available in The Best of Gene Wolfe, a fine collection that also includes “The Death of Doctor Island,” “The Fifth Head of Cerberus,” and numerous short pieces.
