Wolfe interview on SF SITE

My interview with GW is now up on SF SITE (www.sfsite.com) --Nick Gevers.

You have some cheek, Mr Gevers!! As I thought - Wolfe is obeying internally generated mythic imperatives in creating these patterns. He does not know if Ushas/Lune is Blue/Green, and he can't tell us. Andy R [Trying again:] Can your readers usefully view The Fifth Head of Cerberus as being set in the same science-fictional universe as New Sun, Long Sun, and Short Sun? Why does Fifth Head's pattern of blue/green sister worlds recur so tantalisingly in Urth/Lune, Blue/Green? [Wolfe] I don't know. ----- Original Message -----

Nice interview. And it's good to get the definitive word on the secret of the inhumi. Steve Strickland ----- Original Message -----

From the interview - which I enjoyed very much, though I laughed perhaps more than I learned... NG: You're very good at parody...Many of the stories in "Strange Travelers" appear to be homages on some level, some obvious...but others more fugitively so (...M R James in "One-Two-Three For Me")... GW: I'm amazed that you saw M. R. James in "One-Two-Three For Me." You're very perceptive. [NG: Actually, this was pointed out by somebody else, whose name presently escapes me...] Irritatingly, young Price bounces up and down at the back of the classroom, waving his hand importunately in the air, an expression of intense pain on his face while he implores, "Me, Doctor Gevers! Me! Ooof! Ooof! It was me! It was me!" (See Subject: (urth) A Haunting Similarity? Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 19:54:30, as preserved in volume 28 of the Urth archives!) Nigel
