Mike Moorcock got various authors to contribute and it was an interesting exercise, not least because quite a few of them seemed to be having more fun making up books than recommending genuine ones. The quotes from Wolfe in the recommendation were something along the lines of "Note to myself: am I being too recondite?" which seemed a little too deliberately bathetic to be true. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Michael Andre-Driussi" > To: > Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 1:10 AM > Subject: (urth) My Experiences Writing TBOTNS by Gene Wolfe > Rumored to be a book published by Tower Publications: "The Making of a > Classic: My Experiences Writing The Book of the New Sun" by Gene Wolfe. > > Google search turns up nothing. > > Anybody heard of this one, or seen it? > > =mantis= > > > Sirius Fiction > booklets on Gene Wolfe, John Crowley > http://www.siriusfiction.com/ > > > > -- ---
