i suppose we might eventually end up with "The Bellona Quartet", which
could be a worthwhile read.

by the way, although no one took me up on my request to see if anyone
was attending the Delany session at Duke last Sunday, my plans changed
at the last minute and i was able to attend. I will, over the next
month or so, put a transcript together from the tape i made, if anyone
is interested something like that.

Delany read from the opening passage of "The Star Pit," which i
enjoyed immensely, before conversing with John Kessel and members of
the audience.
