mantis,

I, for one, would be interested in hearing your thoughts
on "Thou Spark of Blood", if you still feel that you have
something to say about it.  I can't promise you that it
will generate much discussion, but your insights are al-
ways worthwhile.

Or could you make the same observations about "When I was
Ming the Merciless" (which is so much easier to find)?  I
can't easily think of a story that treats the aspects of
"Spark" that aren't similar to "Ming", (maybe "The Other
Dead Man" or "Silhouette", though the other point is more
difficult) but perhaps a good analogue will occur to you.

If only we weren't so ethical!--the story is short enough
to e-mail without much trouble.  Would anyone be inter-
ested in helping to organize a lending-library system for
the more obscure stuff?  I'll volunteer the texts and the
postage.
