More on Sucharitkul: I believe he is Thai in origin. He does articles for
what used to be called *Fantasy Newsletter* but is now something like
*Fantasy and Science Fiction Book Review*, a very good review magazine
published by the English department of one of the Florida universities. I
read the first installment of *The Aquiliad* in *Analog(?)* and wasn't very
impressed, but I've heard good things about *Mallworld* and plan to start
*Vampire Junction* soon (I love the cover painting). The "S. P. Somtow" is
designed to sell more books, since the general public, unlike(?) science
fiction readers, apparently won't buy a book by someone whose name they
can't pronounce. Saw him wandering through Philadelphia's bid party at LACon
in some sort of Eastern garb, and he seemed a decent sort.
