Hloch's New Narratives

"Hloch's introductions add a new narrative layer..."
-see here.

James Ching narrates "How To Be Ethnic In One Easy Lesson," where he is last seen about to accept an apprenticeship with a Master Merchant of the Polesotechnic League, having been recommended by Adzel. Hloch tells us that:

Jim became a spaceman;

"How To Be Ethnic..." is an extract from his life-long reminiscences;

he settled in Catawrayannis;

his descendants kept his notebooks and made them available to Rennhi, Hloch's mother.

Nicholas van Rijn promotes Emil Dalmady to entrepreneur in "Esau." Hloch tells us that:

Dalmady soared high for many years;

some of his children came to Avalon with Falkayn;

his daughter Judith wrote "Esau," which was published in a magazine named Morgana after the Avalonian moon;

Dalmady got the story of "The Season of Forgiveness" from one of the persons concerned and relayed it to Judith who wrote it also for Morgana;

in her old age, Judith Dalmady/Lundgren wrote "Wingless" about Nat Falkayn, also published in Morgana.

Hloch rescues "Arinnian of Stormgate Choth, whose human name is Christopher Holm..." (David Falkayn: Star Trader, pp. 599-600) from being a single-novel character.

Arinnian wrote "A Little Knowledge" for the Earth Book;

Hloch and Arinnian wrote "Day of Burning" and "Lodestar," again directly for the Earth Book which also includes texts from other sources.

Thus, between them, Jim Ching, Dalmady's daughter and Arinnian account for seven of the twelve works included in the Earth Book.
