| I have no complete list but, to the best of my knowledge, he has only
produced one other book, a collection of short stories. I saw that
some years ago, didn't like it, didn't keep it, and so can't give you
the exact title. I have a hardcopy version of the Canticle; it was
issued some years ago by, if memory serves, Gregg Press and may still
be in print.

| He's had four other books, all collections:
CONDITIONALLY HUMAN
THE VIEW FROM THE STARS
THE BEST OF WALTER M. MILLER (which combines the previous two books
in toto and adds two more stories)
THE SCIENCE FICTION STORIES OF WALTER M. MILLER, JR.

| The Science Fiction Book Club has this book in their own hardback
edition if you be needing another copy. Canticle is easily in
my top ten favorite books to the point that a friend and I
made some cassocks and went to a Halloween party as a couple
of the Keepers of the Memorabilia, chanting lines from the book.
We ended up in a group picture with the entire pantheon of
Christianity: the Lord himself, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, a host of
angels and devils, priests and nuns, etc.
It would be interesting to read a sequel to this book. What
happened to them after they left the Earth? Was there any life left
on Earth to rise up and nuke it again?

| re: .3
I know what you mean about wanting a sequel. I can't believe this guy
(Miller) wrote this astounding saga and then left us hanging. I've
read and re-read this book as many times as I have my other all-time
favorite, "A Stand on Zanzibar."

| There are two sequels, but in name only, and by a different writer.
Michael Bishop wrote an excellent short novel, "The White Otters
of Childhood", and a so-so novel BENEATH THE SHATTERED MOONS (a.k.a.
AND STRANGE AT ECBATAN THE TREES) that are, according to him, set
in the same universe a couple of hundred years later. You'd never
really know it, though. There are really no connections between
them and CANTICLE. Basically, he was intrigued by the idea of the
race without Original Sin.

There will be a sequel to A CANTICLE FOR LIEBOWITZ.
"Walter M. Miller, Jr. has contracted with Bantam Books to finish
a sequel to A CANTICLE FOR LIEBOWITZ, his 30-year-old bestseller, via
agent Don Congdon. Miller, once a prolific sf writer, stopped writing
in 1957 shortly after finishing CANTICLE." The story in LOCUS
(September 1989, page 5) goes on to say that Miller had written 60
pages of a sequel thirty years ago, then stopped writing. Lou Aronica
asked to see the pages recently and loved them. Congdon relayed this
to Miller; "back came 100 pages with an outline!" Apparently, Miller
will be receiving quite a pretty penny for this work.
