A thorough job is guaranteed to be done.\nA quite different matter: if Gene Wolfe is not the ablest SF writer\nliving (and perish the heretical thought), many would pin the label on\nKim Stanley Robinson. There he is, author of rich, copious,\nmany-layered books, and yet I can find almost nothing about him on the\nWeb - no homepage, no discussion site, just a couple of bibliographies\nand interviews. Does anyone know of any incisive Robinson debates or\nessays on the Web? Or if not, is anyone interested in helping get a\nRobinson site going? (It may have been mentioned before somewhere in\nthe Urth Archives, but a note on Wolfe and Robinson: Robinson\nacknowledges Wolfe as an important influence, and I see his novella\ncycle ICEHENGE as deliberately analogous in structure and technique to\nTHE FIFTH HEAD OF CERBERUS.)\n//--------------------------------------\nNicholas Gevers\npotto at webmail.co.za"
