	What is this?  A new NEW sun book?  Pray tell more.

I still don't know much about this book.  The only official word I have
on it is very old; it comes from the January 1984 LOCUS article on
Wolfe in which he discusses why he quit his job to become a full-time
writer:

	'... I've got the fifth book of the New Sun in first draft, but
	I haven't done anything on it for months.  I plan to pull it
	out eventually and do the final draft.  Comparatively little of
	the book takes place in the Urth of the Commonwealth.  A lot of
	it takes place in space...  The temptation is... to get away
	from [writing about Urth], because I know the place pretty well
	and it's time to go and explore a new place.'

It's been considerably more than a year since this interview, so I
suspect he has had a chance to work on the book some more.  Does anyone
else have any current information?
