Thanks for the praise. I especially appreciate it because of the enormously high regard I have for your writing skill.
I am having fun with Avram. I admire him greatly as a writer: some of his stuff is so good that it's like levitation: he raises himself into the air and hangs there, magical. And he so often worked without a net: few if any generic conventions between himself and the ground.
After working through some Avram, I'll be headed back to Vance: probably Tschai again, as I never seem to tire of it.
: Dan, just to let you know that your reply to my "m/f" post on the other board blew me away...you're even at least as good a writer when being serious as when writing funnies. You have quite the talent...! Am responding here because mostly nobody reads this board, so there is little chance of embarrassing you. Say, that was quite insightful about Austin/"Gray Prince" similarities. Haven't read "Prince" for many years, which says that I too haven't thought it quite as good as most Vance; but now can't wait to read it again! Having fun with Avram?
: : Damn! Another test! And I'm sure that I failed this one too.
