Is "The Book of the Short Sun" all one long novel, like "Long Sun" and "New Sun"? Or is it actually a three connected books, a trilogy proper? I'm getting on toward the end of "Long Sun", and I think I'm going to have some questions for y'all ... -- John Woolley

One long novel. And you need to read at least Long Sun, and preferably New Sun as well, before it. - Gerry Quinn

Mostly so.

The chronology and relationship between the volumes can be tricky for the unwary.

Yes. In fact, the Long Sun/Short Sun are single novel. J.
