  • Subterranean Press has posted the "flap copy" for the new omnibus as provided by Mr. Hughart. It seems pretty definite that he does not expect to write another book, but given life's unpredictability, there is yet hope.

  • Jerry Kuntz's excellent Hughart web site is gone. Because of this, I am resurrecting this site. I would like to contact Jerry or Barry to see about posting some of the excellent content here.

  • Jerry Kunz reports: "Barry Hughart has generously allowed us to publish online the original draft of his 1985 World Fantasy Award winning novel Bridge of Birds. This draft, written years before the final published version, includes episodes that later appeared in all 3 of Hughart's Master Li novels. However, there are major differences; for instance, in this draft, Master Li is nineteen years old, and Number Ten Ox only makes a brief appearance as a village idiot! At Barry's suggestion, access to the draft has been presented as a challenge: each chapter file is hidden in a 3-D maze; and is password protected by questions whose answers can only be found by reading the chapters in sequential order. The maze is a java applet, and the password prompts are javascript. [there are instructions for getting access to the chapters if your browser can't handle java]. Go directly to the Castle of the Labyrinth at: http://www.rcls.org/hughart/wowser.htm or enter via our Hughart site at: http://www.rcls.org/hughart."
