Wolfe is a SF fan, he knows what's\npopular, and he knows that his books are off-putting to many people.  I\nthink he may be genuinely not sure whether he's pushing things too far,\nbeing too obscure.  In some ways he's writing for himself, trying to make\na book he thinks is fun and beautiful, and is pleasantly suprised that\nthere are still some other people who like that sort of thing.  \n\nBut perhaps he still thinks: they liked Oreb, but will Tick be way too\nmuch?  They managed to decipher Wizer's Yodaspeak, but will they put up\nwith Pig's accent?  Can I really get away with saying this little about\nAuk and Chenille, or is Hartwell going to finally fling a manuscript back\nat me in frustration?\n\n-Rostrum"
