(urth) The Land Across moratorium?

[Gerry Quinn]

_Last Letters from Hav_ is probably an early reference point for this genre.

City & the City's a very good conversation partner to bring in, yes!  I've only read the excerpt online of Wolfe's new book but having read Mieville's I can already tell they work in shadowing each other.  I recently read Wolfe's There Are Doors for the first time and it also is very Kafka-esque (referencing Kafka's works explicitly) and the excerpt of TLA reminded me of that earlier work as well.  -DOJP

  I also think that comparisons with Mieville's _The City and the City_ are necessary. Whether Wolfe read that or not (anyone know?), the two are definitely similar (and interestingly opposed) in many, many ways.

  I'm going to finish tonight, I have about 40 pages left.  Definitely into Wolfe houses.

    So when do we get to cancel the moratorium on TLA? I've read it once. Anyone else?

    Oh, how I long to discuss houses, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Peace...
