Gene Wolfe indicates he's finishing the third draft of
THE WIZARD, with a fourth to come. No clarity yet on
what he'll write after that...

So, do we know approximately how big _The Wizard Knight_ will be in the 
end? I remember that someone quoted Wolfe a while back, when he was still 
working on the first draft, as saying that he had done 1100+ pages 
(manuscript pages I presume) with much more to come. Does anyone know how 
many pages the first draft finally ended up being, or how many pages the 
final draft of _The Knight_ is? What would this say about the number of 
pages in the final book?
