: I know that Jack Vance was both a musician and an occasional
: music critic --- but that doesn't explain his ease in describing
: and dealing with academics (going so far as to blow up an entire
: galactic congress of musicologists and anthropologists in Night
: Lamp). His descriptions of academica are knowledgable and
: precise, and his humour well-suited. Anybody know why, please?
: As to his way with colors, I have no idea why --- anybody know
: if Jacjk used to paint?
