Peter Wright told us about his book "Attending Dedalus" at the Wolfe
Symposium at Birmingham University last year. This is, to the best of my
recollection, a book of his own essays about Wolfe, and includes material
taken from his doctoral thesis and published essays. It's certainly one that
I want to get hold of.

Don't remember if he mentioned the first title here, though I've got a
feeling he might have done. Anyone remember? Jonathan? Joshua? Spectacled
Bear? Again, looks very interesting.

Sorry, I don't recall. One thing I do remember is that Peter was
interested in the urth and whorl lists, but didn't know how to
subscribe. He doesn't seem to be here now; did anything happen
about that?
