<p>Can you explain more about the 6 compass points? Sounds like it
would lend itself to a hexmap, which I have not seen done.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There is a theory about how far Wolfe took the reversal thing. I
am not sure I can describe it verbally, but it involves moving
Bueno Aires to the other side of the Andes by flipping the globe.
It seems to work.<br>

The most important thing is to have six cardinal points of the
compass, not four. Second, to have south be up. I'm not certain
that the people from earth carry this over to the new sun, but
it would indicate an awareness that, in this series, Wolfe
deliberately did everything different from the way we do things.</div>

Okay. I might be sorry I asked this, but who are the �Gene
Wolfe� people out there? As you know, I am doing new
editions of the six-book
<em>The Book of the New Sun</em> series. One nice thing to
have would be new maps. I found an artist in France who
does this sort of work with flair and panache, but the
artist is looking for help with the basic structure of the
The Book of the New Sun�s world. If you�re the Gene Wolfe
fan who obsesses over this, and has rigorously analyzed
all of the maps thus far created (there�s one on
Wikipedia, and one created by Gurps, too, among several
others)���your help is requested with this project. All I
need to know is what is (are) considered the most regarded
and considered the most accurate map(s). My map maker can
extrapolate from there and make it into something amazing.
If you�re that person, who�s really really
<em>really</em> into this, and who knows the subject
backwards and forwards, please give me a shout!
