New Andre-Driussi book

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I had a chance to look at an advance copy - he has done an exceedingly thorough job on the categories and taxonomy of names in Long Sun and on the timeline with relevant page numbers of the Short Sun.? He also acknowledges many of the list members from the late 90s and early 2000s in his introduction.
?
It is especially worthwhile for actually finding scenes in the broken time line of Short Sun.? I found the observations on the sizes of things very helpful.

That is flipping amazing good news. ?I've been thinking for ages that these other two 'Books' of the Solar Cycle were well worthy of their own lexicons, but I had totally resigned myself to that never happening. ?That's why I'm quite taken aback here. ?Feels like Christmas.

Andre-Driussi?is truly a legend. ?Outsider bless 'im!

Sorry, no, I don't have a link; the information comes from Michael and
he hasn't even posted it on the Sirius Fiction site yet.
