The paper will probably be circulated first, although the \ngallant organiser (me) may read it out for those involved.\n\nAs the number of proposals was a little underwhelming we plan to \ninclude several round table discussions of certain aspects of GW's \nwork, which will hopefully enable those attending but not speaking \nto get involve informally.\n\nUpon my return I will be putting the abstracts on the website and \ncirculating them with further details to all those who have expressed \nan interest in attending.\n\nOne further point. Several people have suggested we contact GW \ndirectly and ask if he would like to say a few words, either written or \nby videotape, to open the symposium. Does anyone think this is a \nviable prospect?\n\nJonathan Laidlow\n --\nJonathan Laidlow\nEditor, Ultan's Library\nAn electronic journal for the study of Gene Wolfe\nhttp://www.english.bham.ac.uk/ultan\nemail: J.M.Laidlow at bham.ac.uk\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
