The Dispossessed

To what Alex says, I can only add:
I'm not surprised Wolfe didn't like THE DISPOSSESSED.
TBSS is all the more, then, his new improved version.
And: Alex, you hit the nail on the head: it's not GW
who's tired of the series, it's Horn who's tired of
writing. Alga and other dissidents take note.

I'll add that I agree with Wolfe about THE
DISPOSSESSED. It plus THE
LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS stands as my examplar of how
even when the prose
quality is uniformly excellent, a writer can vary
wildly in quality.
Also, I still like Short Sun despite remaining
clueless about the many
apparent red herrings it introduces. The emotional
impact didn't feel
forced or as if he were tired of the series to
me--although it did
feel as if Silk/Horn was tired of writing.
