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

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.)

	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?
