Richard, Don't know if it is THE Bruce Sterling, but why not. He is a leading SF-writer in the States and The Glass Bees is SF of very high quality. Haven't seen the book yet, so I can't tell. Thank's for the tip of the two translations from _The Adventurous Heart_, will try to get copies. This book is one of EJs best but unfortunately not so much in demand. Possibly the latest work on that book is by Switzerland's Norbert Staub,=20 _Wagnis ohne Welt. Ernst Juengers Schrift "Das abenteuerliche Herz un ihr Kontext_, Wuerzburg: Koenigshausen&Neumann, 2000, 359 p., price DM 78.00. Not everybody likes his interpretations. Too much speculation and Staub does not exactly seem to=20 be an admirer of EJ. I think the diss was presented in 1998 in Zuerich with Professor Peter von Matt (don't know about him) as tutor. With best wishes Bertil =20 > thanks for sharing that with the list.
