Excited over a book I haven't read

One fo my all-around favorite authors, Walter Jon Williams, just put up a blog entry which indicates that he's writing a sequel or prequel or something set in the same universe as _Aristoi_.

Well, actually he wrote a poem. A villanelle. But the significant bit was this:

But I was trapped. The protagonist of my current enterprise is a kind of Confucian gentleman, the kind of person who can program a computer, fight a battle, refute Sartre, explore strange new worlds, perform flawless sword kata, and every so often toss off a verse or two as a comment on the action.


And he's 1500 years old. Thus, my conclusion.

But if not, then he's doing something very Zelaznyish, and WJW doing Zelazny wouldn't be a bad thing at all, at all.
