Speaking of which, I wonder if there's any chance those typos will be fixed when they release Exodus in paperback. -Rostrum

Reply: Item #6279912 from WHORL at LISTS.BEST.COM@INET02# Rostrum, These days I hold my breath and hope that more typos aren't added. <cue: ranting about omnibus of Vance's PLANET OF ADVENTURE> Your mention of it makes me think fleetingly of submitting a list of clear typos (nevermind those two stealthies), but nah, that would only make me more crazy. newt, Interesting point, re: the unambiguous/beat-reader-over-head with Christianity mode of C.S. Lewis. Can we take this a little further? My personal sense of Cordwainer Smith is that his work is somewhat closer to the mode of Lewis than the mode of Wolfe (I readily admit I prefer Smith over Lewis). Would you agree? (How about you, alga?) Not to denigrate any of these authors, just arranging them in a spectrum. (The Chesterton of THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY to my mind is definitely at the Wolfe end of the spectrum.) =mantis=

Could you or someone post the places where the typos in Long Sun are located?

Jumping in, I myself much prefer Smith to Lewis, and agree that he is not ambiguous (though sometimes difficult). Thematically he is (was) very close to Wolfe, but stylistically quite different, no? Nutricious
