Description
The Wounded is a story by Philip Jose Farmer, taken from Fantastic Universe for October 1954. A house note says women wondered how the hero could be so cruel and yet so charming. Farmer had won fame in two short years, with a much talked of novel.
The tale is told in the first person by a man who calls himself the biggest gate crasher in the world. A pair of movie glasses from a 3-D show starts his downfall. In a lobby he looks up from his schedule to find a lovely young woman staring at him, her own glasses still on. At a penthouse party a house detective grabs his arm and eyes his violin case. Readers get wit, charm, and a trap set in high society.
