From: m.driussi at genie.com The only other book about TBOTNS (that I'm aware of) is LEXICON URTHUS (1994), but it is not listed in Joan Gordon's GENE WOLFE (1986), nor does it have articles by Wolfe about the writing of TBOTNS.
It has his foreword, where he succinctly restates his reasoning behind his choice of unusual words, so I would think that it would at least partly count. Another piece that doesn't constitute a full book but must surely be included among Gene's writings about BOTNS is his 1984 Boskone Book piece on "Books in Book of the New Sun". As for recent list silence, it's given me a chance to study the Whorl archives, since I finally got around to reading EXODUS. When the first of the new series comes out will there be a third list for it? Dan
