Planets And Meals

(An idiosyncratic title makes it easier to re-find a post.)

Poul Anderson contributed to shared planets:

Cleopatra;
Murasaki.

James Blish's "A Case of Conscience" is part of:

A Case Of Conscience;
After Such Knowledge;
the Haertel Scholium;
a projected Twayne Triplet!

I do not know who wrote the other two "Lithia" stories but Blish told me that one of them would have contained meals long and lovingly described - as in our Food Thread?

This food for thought has taken us from shared planets to "food porn" (hate that phrase!) via a fourfold James Blish story while I am eating lunch but I must get back to some real life like a walk to Morecambe.

Maybe the Justice League film this evening. (See here.)

Kaor, Paul!

Your allusion to how James Blish commented that one of the other Lithia stories contained descriptions of meals "long and lovingly described" immediately made me think of S.M. Stirling! (Smiles)
