Wonderful panegyric on Wolfe -- thanks. The above words capture what I love best. So many authors woo us with style and pyrotechnics to the detriment of what's being described. Wolfe's style, at his best, dissolves the space between author and reader and yet leaves intact the wonder and grasping after reality that real intelligence is all about. Steven
