I'm a third of the way through Cryoburn, and I just have to ask- are you a fan of Nikolai Gogol, too?
Lois McMaster Bujold
I have not read Gogol, so cannot say. So many books, so little time!

Having read "The Prisoner of Limnos" several times, I was startled when a friend from the U.P. mentioned yesterday a cruel local practice among youth there of tossing food to seagulls, which they caught on the fly, and then tossing an Alka Seltzer tablet, which MADE THE GULL EXPLODE. (I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this story--it may be so or it may be rural myth.) Had you heard of this?

What if Ethan of Athos starred a young Cordelia instead of Elli Quinn? When Ethan asks Elli if she'll donate an ovary to Athos, Elli mostly seems amused, not overly swayed by the thought of having hundreds of sons with her DNA. But Cordelia has an insatiable drive to expand her own biological empire. I bet Cordelia would have screamed "YES" to Ethan's question and gone and had it chopped out on the spot!

I am currently reading Edward James's very interesting book about you in the "Modern Masters of Science Fiction" series. While he is a big fan of your writing, he sometimes interprets things differently than you do. So how does *"The Writer" feel about being written about?
