Actually, Witz, given your reaction to Wolfe and PKD, I wonder what Vance
will have to offer you.  Vance's artistry seems to operate almost entirely
at the level of style.  Have you read _A Voyage to Arcturus_ or C.S. Lewis's
Space Trilogy?  I don't exactly recommend them, but I do think you might
find them interesting.
