Return to Whorl coverWhorl

I got the Tor winter catalogue yesterday and there is a b&w reproduction of the next book's cover in it. For Feb. A huge odd-but-benign looking (eyes too close together; actually he looks like a lot of elderly character actors) old guy wearing something like a medieval cap (blunt soft point falling sloppily toward the forehead) holds in his hand a tiny Horn--is it only Horn or is Horn holding someone else--Babbie? Fuzzy graphics make it hard for me to tell--perhaps it is just Horn alone. Above but close, Oreb is soaring. -alga *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.
