And with good reason, Fred, although your work deserves to be noticed
elsewhere as well. The 'fantastic' is certainly a presence in the books
I've read, & I read them with a certain delight _because_ I was getting
all kinds of SF&F effects.
Disch's 334 is great, & his other work, but I think he took the I'll
look for the worst & take it for all approach to SF.

There are places named for
other places, ones where
a word survives whatever happened
which it once referred to. And there are
names for the places water comes and touches.
But nothing for the whole.
