"The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement - but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims." -- Joseph Conrad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jonathan and Rachel — 08 Jun 2006, 18:26 follows, by subject match Adam Thornton Just thought I'd update the list with news of Peter Wright's book SHADOWS OF THE NEW SUN originally announced by Liverpool University press for last year, this year. Well the current plan is for March 2007, having spoken to an editor at the press. The book does exist - I've read a manuscript - and it is very good. It reprints a good selection of interviews with Gene Wolfe covering from the first publication of Shadow of the Torturer to recent interviews with James Jordan. It also reprints a good selection of prose writing by Wolfe, including "Books in the Book of the New Sun" last reprinted in Plan(e)t Engineering. It isn't listed on the Liverpool University Press website yet, and I doubt pestering them would do any good. They also produce Wright's study of GW, Attending Daedalus, and I would be remiss in my duty if I didn't draw your attention to their catalogue. http://www.liverpool-unipress.co.uk/html/catagories.asp?idCategory=51 Jonathan Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
