From: liang@cvl.UUCP (Eli Liang) What is this? A new NEW sun book? Pray tell more. I still don't know much about this book. The only official word I have on it is very old; it comes from the January 1984 LOCUS article on Wolfe in which he discusses why he quit his job to become a full-time writer: '... I've got the fifth book of the New Sun in first draft, but I haven't done anything on it for months. I plan to pull it out eventually and do the final draft. Comparatively little of the book takes place in the Urth of the Commonwealth. A lot of it takes place in space... The temptation is... to get away from [writing about Urth], because I know the place pretty well and it's time to go and explore a new place.' It's been considerably more than a year since this interview, so I suspect he has had a chance to work on the book some more. Does anyone else have any current information?
