What do y'all think? -alga *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. --- ### Nicholas Gevers *05 May 2000, 00:54 · follows Alice Turner* The redoubtable alga set out to provide the URL for my essays on THE BOOK OF THE LONG SUN, but the text she was using doesn't seem to have been html-friendly (if that's the right term). So, just for the record, the twin essays "Five Steps Towards Briah" and "The Reader as Augur" are available online at Jonathan Laidlow's still-developing ULTAN'S LIBRARY: http://members.tripod.co.uk/laidlow/ultan The second essay is being published for the first time, and is more complete than the version I sent some people on the list last year. --Mr. Gethers. --- ### matthew.malthouse *08 May 2000, 13:25 · follows Nicholas Gevers* > On 05/05/2000 03:07:31 AM Alice Turner wrote: > http://members.tripod.co.uk/laidlow/ultan/briah.htm > > I was quite dazzled by parts of it, and a bit put off by others.

Just fired off a misserable message 'casue the other URL was duff then this pops up making me feel curmudgeonly. However the new one just says "Ultan's Library is currently closed. Opening soon - June 2000!" Now maybe I'm miserable because I've just got back from holiday and I'm trying to get back in the work spirit (by not doing any, reading Urth & Whorl is _usually_ more fun) but c'mon such tricks are not lightening the post-vacation depression any.
