Wolfe finished it and turned it in very shortly before he died. I do feel that the sketchiness of the last few chapters might have something to do with that fact, though of course …

Stephen, there’s a ton going on with the Perseus/andromeda/cassiopeia imagery - the mountain top where gideon (the destroyer) sits and faces cassiopeia - Perseus means the destroye…

Michael Andr?-driussi sees it as a rolling roads reference but I think it is another of these damn symbols that show graton?s “training” and the influence on his life after the en…

Nah. If I had finished Land Across I would be pressuring them more. It is being edited but I haven’t heard an ETA on release. I’m a little anxious myself.…

My question about giving away a hundred involves the size of Wolfe’s fan base who will spend on a book like this.…

Gem are you reading through the whole list? Phew. Lots of zeitgeist shifts. Eventually you will see me return to reputability. You are at about the nadir of the list for me in time…

Yes me too. Hopefully there are some callbacks to the most inexplicable parts of A Borrowed Man. They spend ten pages thinking about how Conrad Sr got his money and then Ern is lik…

Of course there has to be an editorial review. I just have a low estimation of the general competence of human beings, and Wolfe’s super tricky use of pronouns makes his final revi…

Yeah but having twenty thousand words cut, ten by Wolfe and ten by another editor, sure didn’t help it.…

Copy editors managed to mess up the horn reveal in reprints of Long Sun and I insist the ace version of Fifth Head is the least corrupt. Wolfe was very mad about the switching of h…

One hopes. Yes that’s how I feel about those who would edit Wolfe.he can create meaning in so many ways that every reader will certainly miss, especially in his post 2000 work. (I’…

On second thought, March does make Spring innately related to Mars. But the Juno association of summer doesn’t do much in this case and I think the “choked by a snake” mars has som…

The problem of course is that much like “violet” eyes being a mix or blue and red I think spring is a mix of hot and cold (?). If she were named winter it would be clear. She’s a t…

Also, there is a scene in which ern claims that water vapor makes the sky on the other planet so blue. Normally this would be just a little inaccuracy, but given the name of the Co…

Yes I really think this is the case. I am going to revise the ending a bit with these thoughts in mind but not too much - still going to leave that “open” conclusion. Hope you don’…
