Hi! You have a wonderful site, I check it often.

A prewious letter had asked about the wonderful LeGuin story "Nine
Lives". That's in her collection The Wind's Twelve Quarters (an amazing
short story collection). I think it's also in a Nebula Anthology (1969
or so).

I was indeed saddened to hear of John Brunner's death (I also heard of it
first in Locus). I really liked his novel Total Eclipse, which seems
little read.

The saddest recent news in the world of literature, however, is the
(rather sudden) death of Sir Kingsley Amis. What a giant! Almost all
his work can be recommended highly, but I like to promote his Alternate
History novel, The Alteration, one of the best of that sub-genre,
unjustly neglected, in my view, by SF readers.

Thanks for your work maintaining this site.
