Because of its considerable\nlength, he's anticipating (or at least hoping) it'll be published in two\nmassive volumes.\n\nGiven the narrative complexity of SHORT SUN, I asked about WK's\npoint-of-view, and Wolfe responded: \"The narrator recounts his experiences\nin first, but switches to third to reconstruct events he did not witness.\"\n\nSo keep your fingers crossed, and who knows, depending on how long it takes\nGW to finish drafts two and three, and then turnaround time on the\npublishing end, perhaps we'll be seeing the new work sometime late next year\nor early the following.\n\nIn the meantime, I'll be dreaming of Aelfrice and all the likely Wolfean\nwonders soon to be found there.\n\nRobert Borski"
