He attended Bucconneer and a few ears ago Balticon for a day.  He's
never felt himself to be part of the SF community.

& if one & all have not read his recent novel "Cybele", well you really
should.

"There are perhaps a thousand wonderful books. Most of us are fortunate
if we so much as hear the titles of them in the course of a lifetime.
Very few of us ever touch the covers of more than half a dozen. This is
one of them. If you do not buy the copy you are holding, you are not
likely to see one again."  - -  Gene Wolfe

It's amazing what can be done in a novel of a mere 160 pages . . .
