Reply: Item #4968985 from URTH at LISTS.BEST.COM@INET01# Tony Ellis, Re: the five stage hero of the brown book. The shortest answer is: 1. Birth 2. Initiation 3. Reign 4. Repose 5. Death The medium answer is: read my essay ("A Closer Look at the Brown Book") on the subject in "The New York Review of Science Fiction No. 54," 2-93. The full experience is: read THE WHITE GODDESS by Robert Graves, then re-read all the brown book stories, and finally, if you simply must, read my essay. "NYRSF" Dragon Press P.O.
