Gene Wolf was a guy? 

Well what do you know, always assumed it was a woman.  Sad to hear of his passing. 

In the USA Gene is rare as a woman's given name. Even the one famous American woman with this name, actress Gene Tierney (1920-1991), was named after her uncle. Gene is originally a short form of Eugene, and many famous men called Gene are "Eugene" on their birth certificates, though this wasn't the case for Wolfe.
