A pal tells me:

>On Egan, David Pringle [UK author of SF: THE 100 BEST BOOKS] lists

This is gratifying. I still get the impression that Egan isn't *selling*
hugely, since his work is so hard-edged and demanding (and, admittedly,
rather `cold'), but at least his critical reputation continues to gather
momentum.
