Btw, just so you know, that wasn’t this Ellen. I’m assuming it was Klages commenting :-)

Niall, I’ve not seen a copy, but apparently it’s been out for a little while. Given that there are usually galleys etc, I’m surprised not to see ANY advance reviews. I’m also surprised that there hasn’t been more talk about it in the genre media outlets.

Cheryl, I’ve read the blog. Doesn’t change the fact that the book’s been out for a while, and there’s been no real talk on it.

Ellen, yeah, I saw that. I wish I could go to Wiscon. I’d love to meet him, and I love the hotel.

Rich, I couldn’t agree more.

Tsk, not reading the Emerald City blog again, eh?

Actually I think it is being launched on the 16th, but I’ve left the PR stuff in England. I read it on the flight over to California. Fabulous book, though Geoff has managed to excise all SF from it. Review in the next Emerald City.

Geoff Ryman’s AIR just won the Tiptree Award. He’ll be coming to Wiscon for the ceremony in May.

Hi Jonathan,

I really enjoy Adam’s writeups, too, even when I disagree with them. This year I thought he got Learning the World and Pushing Ice just about exactly right — oddly enough those are the two novels I just finished. I was pleased in particular to note that he was reminded of A Deepness in the Sky by Learning the World — I’d had the same thought.
