I'm reading "The Soft and Others," and, naturally, it's great and I'm loving it.

I have a question. I've read "To Fill the Sea and Air" somewhere else. Where? I can't figure it out. Anybody have a clue? :confused:

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

I first read it when I obtained a mint copy of "Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine" (1979, I think). I believe that is when it first appeared. I am not home, so I don't have access to my collection to be 100% certain. Also, this short story was included in the book "Healer", so you may be recalling it from reading that. If you haven't read "Healer", it is definitely worth the read.

I almost went back to edit my query to mention that I somehow connect "To Fill the Sea and Air" with "Healer." LOL. Now I know why I made that connection!

"Healer" is wonderful and I'd love to see more of Dalt.

Thanks!

He's a major character in another of my SF novels (which receives passing mention in Healer), but I won't say which because you're not supposed to know it's him.

Which should be subtitled, "Watch Wilson Learn to Write."

If, by reading it, I can learn anything about how you do it, it would be worth it for that alone! I've yet to read anything you've written that doesn't satisfy, let alone thrill.

Stored away in an attic or basement, I bet you've got stuff you've written going back to grammar school or high school. Now THAT would be fun to see!

Man oh man! I should trust my instincts. I KNEW it was "The Tery" and I even wrote the darn post and then said, no, what if I'm wrong? So I deleted it.

Trust your gut. It never leads you wrong.

Is that a secret? I thought it was known that Dalt was in the Tery, even though I have not read the Tery. Healer is the only LaNague book that I have read so far.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft
