Gene Wolfe's Book of Days

Blurb

Gene Wolfe's Book of Days is a short story collection by American science fiction author Gene Wolfe published in 1981 by Doubleday.
The stories within the collection are each paired with a holiday within the calendar year that is thematically linked to the content of the story. Thus, a story about the resurgence of slavery is dedicated to Lincoln's Birthday.
The material here was combined with The Castle of the Otter to make the volume Castle of Days.
