     Somtow Sucharitkul is Indeed Male. He comes from Thailand, and is
in direct line for the throne (although I heard he got slightly bent out 
shape recently when they made girls eligible heirs....he dropped a 
couple of hundred places). In the dedication to one of his books (I don't
remember which) he thanks a Princess for something...I believe she
is his sponsor. (gives him money and stuff) He is a rather strange 
person...I almost met him at last Lunacon...Someone stuck something near 
my ear at a party that was saying "More right, use frash"...I turned
and an oriental type was sticking this camera up to someone else's 
ear. I was later told this was Somtow. I have also been told that he
sometimes writes columns for Locus, but of this I am not sure.

     _Light on the Sound_ is one of the most amazing books I have ever
read. I found _Starship and Haiku_ both fascinating and depressing.
_Mallworld_ I found just plain weird. I haven't had a chance to read the
next Inquestor book, though I *think* I bought it.....

     I don't know anything about his musicianship. But if anyone is 
interested in hearing any more weird stories about him, send me a 
usenet address and I will pump my fen friends for more weird Somtow
Stories.....

hugs on all

Somtow is an old friend of mine -- we met through a mutual friend when I 
lived in the D.C. area several years ago.  I'd sure be happy to hear how 
things are going for him now...

re: the pronunciation of his name

Others have already replied, though there is a slight
correction necessary:

It's not	su-cha-RIT-kul
It's		su-ka-RIT-kul
