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.
