Also, does Chris sail out from Veracruz or Havana? The biography says Havana, but doesn't he sail from Veracruz at the end of the book? I'd check if my book weren't 3000 miles away…

And there I thought my imagination was running away with me again. Dark hair does seem more classically Italian. So Chris is tall, dark, and genetically engineered. How long till …

I suppose I just assumed it would be a son for thematic reasons... rather silly of me, I'm afraid. He is, isn't he? I guess I need to work on my close-reading. Furthermore, how d…

I know I'm reviving an old thread here, but it seemed more sensible than starting a new one. I've just finished PF, and while I really liked it, the Urth list has once again remind…

If you search the archive on urth.net, you'll find that there have been quite a few discussions of individual stories, most started by someone asking "What the hell was that all ab…

George R.R. Martin discussed this project on his "Not-a-Blog" ( grrm.livejournal.com), and a few people responded to the news with questions about putting Wolfe in the anthology, b…

I really don't know too much about Dr. Island, having read it only once, but I might be able to help out just a bit on "Il Penseroso." The main character of "The Death of Dr. Islan…

Hi, Subterraneanpress.com just posted a new Wolfe story. Should be an interesting read. Does anyone know if Wolfe plans to publish any books with Subterranean? It's a great small …

In regards to an animated version of The Book of the New Sun, I'd love to see one of the Japanese studios take it on. Satoshi Kon, from what I know of him, might do a good job with…

Don, Thanks for the advice. I've been meaning to read some Gaiman this summer, and you've given me a good idea of where to start. I have a copy of Smoke and Mirrors at home; I mig…

I haven't read "A Study in Emerald," though as a fan of both Holmes and Lovecraft, I really should. Everyone says it's incredible. I have, however, read Gaiman's comic Cthulhu auto…

Interesting thought, and I think right. I'd point out that Odin is associated with ravens, which, if not exactly night choughs, are pretty close. Apparently Odin's ravens talk to h…

I hadn't seen that in the archives, as the only stuff I've read on Castleview in the archives is the stuff from last month, but it does make sense. I believe there's even a comment…

Hi, I just finished Castleview last night for the first time, and though I know there's been a lot said on this particular book recently, I hope I've got something to add to the c…

Stuart, I started off with Shadow & Claw myself; I was hooked by the end of the first chapter. I haven't read Strange Travelers, but I'm not sure if The Island of Doctor Death is …

I was in the bookstore today browsing the fantasy section when I found a new fantasy anthology called Wizards. Wolfe has a story called "The Magic Animal." I didn't take a very lon…

Amazon UK now has some more information on Severian of the Guild, which does seem to be a reprinting of the New Sun books. Amazon says it comes out October 18 in the UK and that it…

As a college student myself, I heartily wish that some of my professors would teach Wolfe, though I suppose it might be a hard sell for some students. I'd suggest teaching TWK over…

Nice. My copy, alas, won't be here for a few more days. Also, I've got papers and exams at this point of the year. Once they're done though, I'm starting in on Children of Hurin. U…

Hi, I'm new here, and likely won't be participating in that many discussions as yet, as there are still many of Wolfe's books that I haven't read and which I should like to comple…
