[net.sf-lovers] M. A. Foster's newest collection

ecl@hocsj.UUCP (10/27/84)

I just got a publicity flyer from DAW advertising M. A. Foster's new book
OWLTIME as "four short novels...a unique reading experience."  The page count
for the entire book is "256pp."  That averages 64 pages per story.  Unless
these figures are in base twenty (what the heck is the word for "base twenty"--
my mind has created a black hole for this information to hide in), these are
at best novellas or perhaps even novelettes.

They may still be good but they ain't novels.
