Even if it\nwasn't, I remember it as a remarkably good essay, though unlike\nSeverian, my memory isn't perfect...\n\nI'd love to see that essay again.\n\n     -vizcacha\n     (david_lebling at avid.com)\n\nps: [Plug] Our very own mantis has an article in the current _New York\nReview of SF_ on the \"future history\" of Jack Vance.  Those who are fans\nof TBOTNS but have not yet read Vance (particularly _The Dying Earth_\nand its sequels, and _The Dragon Masters_ and its) should do so without\nunseemly delay!  He manages to tie the \"Demon Princes\" books into the\nsame history as _The Dying Earth_, a feat of mantic virtuosity."
