But monolatrically, not monotheistically, right? I mean, "hold no other gods before" him all you want, but there are still other Gods. We may have to start a cult.

Once again, we can't tell where the critic's personal opinion of genre ends and the alleged opinion of a supposed "society at large" (or perhaps merely a profession or industry) begins: "His books contain all of the nasty genre tropes...."

Sure thing ... it seems as though it has generated a lot of social media activity for Wolfe, which is awesome ... I am actually surprised how much word in the right place can sway public opinion. “Twitter alone shows hundreds of gene wolfe mentions in the last two days, compared to hundreds in months or years before that...” Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Alpha?, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: Richard Simon <gallebuck at yahoo.co.uk> Date: 04/26/2015 9:34 PM (GMT-07:00) To: The Urth Mailing List <urth at lists.urth.net> Subject: Re: (urth) Wolfe profile in the New Yorker Thanks for this, Marc.
