Gene Wolfe's Book of Days
- Gene Wolfe's Book of Days
"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 ("How the Whip Came Back") is dedicated to Lincoln's Birthday.
