Has anyone read the short story "Mute" by Gene Wolfe? It was one of the stories in the collection called Wastelands that I am reading right now and it confused the hell out of me. I mean, I think I got what it was trying to say, but I'm not sure at all. I've searched the internet for other reviews, but there's not alot out there that I found.
So, has anyone here read it and if so, what is your take on the story?
