Re the necessity of URTH as a coda to TBOTNS: I
personally see THE URTH OF THE NEW SUN as Wolfe's best
single book, both for its rich eclecticism of focus
and its superb flights of poetic language. To me, it
completes and transcends THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN; in
fact, I've at times thought of it as the best SF novel
ever written. This may seem extravagant praise, but
what other work of SF has come so close to the
intensity of writers like Joyce? 
Maybe I'm using the wrong criteria...
