Ellison is a total prat -- like just about everything else connected with
+New Worlds+ (except Libby Houston). (*) (**)
I'm beginning to feel slightly awkward about the deep-fried Mars Bars -- am
I guilty of colluding in cultural stereotyping?
Robin
(*) OK, if we're being persnickety, not LH but her husband ...
(**) ... and I'd except Colin Kapp's Unorthodox Engineers series from my
blanket condemnation -- but they always did sit oddly with the New Waving
And Drowning Worlds. More JWC jr's style than The Pocket Pretension.
(***) but then [and I note this footnote is disattached] I'm strictly a
solid-fuel SF (wo)man/person myself.
