Ah well here's a pressie for you Matthew, deserved indeed for those
beautiful, tantalising poems in your Feature, if you go to the possibly best
Lem site on the Web:
http://www.rpi.edu/~sofkam/lem/#fables
you will find among the links on a long page the fable entire. With, I
understand, the author's permission.
And yeah, Gigamesh was brilliant, amazed Patrick didn't do a sequel, the one
that really gets me from 'A Perfect Vacuum', the heart-rending finale to
'Personoids' apart, is the outrageously funny and , too, deadly serious
'Gruppenfuhrer Louis the XVI'. What a fillum that could make.
Best
Dave
