A very quick Vance Treasury update. We’ll have galleys of The Jack Vance Treasury for WorldCon, which is pretty exciting. I’m looking forward to getting a copy to George, and out to some reviewers. I feel like I’ve spent the last twelve months working on a lot of things that haven’t come out, so getting Best Short Novels recently, and knowing that copies of the Locus Press year’s bests and Eidolon will be at WorldCon feels really good. I think I need to seem some projects reaching fulfilment right now.
I’d be interested to see it — a Vance fan since my late teens, I was delighted to meet Jack at a writers’ conference in the mid-Seventies (kind of a mini-Clarion in Washington state) and get to know him a bit more, later on in Oakland. If universities allowed PhD theses on SF back then, I would have done mine about *his* writing instead of landscapes in the poetry of Shelley.
