Original Title: TIL that in 1981, the magazine Locus butchered the title of Gene Wolfe’s next novel “The Citadel of the Autarch” and announced that it would be titled “The Castle of the Otter”. Wolfe found the mistake so funny he actually published a book titled “The Castle of the Otter” the following year.
