Over on the Urth side we were working again on the Invisible Library project. So among all the other texts-within-the-text, we were talking about Scleroderma's "Book of the Long Sun," but then there was that =other= "other Book of the Long Sun," the one by the guy who lived in the Chicago analog. Remind us all where that was located in the text. IIRC it was in the Short Sun books, but maybe not. (About a month ago I found a hc of PEACE in a used bookstore on the isle of Alameda. Heh.) =mantis= Sirius Fiction Has Moved To http://www.siriusfiction.com/ *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.
