The subject line above is, or would have been, the title of the sequel. In the Fall 1996 issue of _The Review of Contemporary Fiction_, along with a short interview with Delany and various articles about Delany, there is a thirteen page excerpt from _The Splendor and Misery_. According to the latest issue of the _Review_ in my library, this back issue is still available. The address is The Review of Contemporary Fiction ISU Campus Box 4241 Normal IL 61790-4241 The price is eight dollars, with a ten percent discount for individuals. --Adam ---
