Re THE URTH OF THE NEW SUN

From: liang at cvl.UUCP (Eli Liang)
What is this? A new NEW sun book? Pray tell more.
I still don't know much about this book. The only official word I have on it is very old; it comes from the January 1984 LOCUS article on Wolfe in which he discusses why he quit his job to become a full-time writer:
'... I've got the fifth book of the New Sun in first draft,
but I haven't done anything on it for months. I plan to
pull it out eventually and do the final draft.
Comparatively little of the book takes place in the Urth of
the Commonwealth. A lot of it takes place in space... The
temptation is... to get away from [writing about Urth],
because I know the place pretty well and it's time to go and
explore a new place.'
It's been considerably more than a year since this interview, so I suspect he has had a chance to work on the book some more. Does anyone else have any current information?
