Solomon *22 Feb 1997, 14:43* Advance apologies for lack of LONG SUN content. Previously, someone mentioned literary criticism of Wolfe. Has anyone ever compiled a bibliography of Wolfe criticism? One puzzle from the NEW SUN that intrigued me was geography. Assuming that Urth resembles Earth, where are Nessus, Gyoll, etc. today? I cant remember all of the relevant clues (Nessus is on a delta; downstream is the sea; upstream is mountains and a warmer climate), but I was led to believe that Gyoll might be the Parna river in Argentina and Nessus might be in the vicinity of Buenos Aires. Alternatively, Gyoll might be the Uruguay (Argentinas border with Uruguay). Theres a town on the Uruguay called Salto which might correspond to NEW SUNs Saltus. bee Questions or problems to whorl-owner at lists.best.com ---
