I haven't even been reading it as much as I probably should so maybe this was discussed in my absence, but I'll ask anyway. Has anyone read The Devil in a Forest? What were your thoughts on it? I just finished reading it and looking back over it, it seems very simple compared to Wolfe's other works. Was it one of Wolfe's earlier novels? Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on it. -Steve --- ### Jim Henley *24 May 2000, 22:23 · follows Redhaven1* > -----Original Message----- > From: urth-errors at lists.best.com [mailto:urth-errors at lists.best.com]On > Behalf Of Redhaven1 at aol.com > > It's been a very, very long time since I've posted anything > on here.

The religious and political themes anticipate the Severian novels. Nutria ---
