Yes, there are those of us out here who liked TITAN/WIZARD. I'm one.

They aren't as good as Varleys short stories - but then again, how many
authors write novels that are as good as (or better than) their short stories?
Especially when they deal with abstractions in the manner of Varley/Ellison?

As for the attack on SF in Harpers - Yuch. This guy sounds like he's been
reading to much Space Opera and `best-selling' sf. Maybe we ought to find out
how many of the things on the various suggested readings list he's read...
