Or a\npilgrim, if you like. Human beings too (or so you think if you are Catholic,\nor any other kind of Christian) die into a new life. But I think we're\nreally loping along the same moose trail. And I think you're also right not\nto count this as a science fiction story; it uses the trappings, but it\nreaches way back almost to the old moralities (technical term for the\nallegorical religious plays that followed the medieval mystery plays in\nEuropean religious drama). Of course, a lot of Victorian children's fantasy\nwas sort of structured this way too (Kingsley, Macdonald), and mantis is\nright about Lindsay, too, though that is so skewed that it's hard to say\njust what it's about.\n\nI like, too, the way he's also done a North American animal fable that's NOT\na Coyote tale and doesn't have a bit of that wise-old-Injun tongue-in-cheek\ndrollery that can get so tiresome.\n\nAnd if I work for Playboy, do you have a PROBLEM with that, Sarge?\n\n-alga- "
