There seems to be vast quantities of Gregor/Miles, and I'm just not interested.
I don’t know. If there’s one thing that Uncle Paul appears to be really sympathetic to it is the fragile young male ego. Having just re-read Mirror Dance with Cordelia wondering about the success of her ‘hands off’ approach, I wonder whether she later considers herself to have over-reacted to perhaps having expectations of her in adolescence that she felt pushed her in the wrong direction, by not providing any pushing at all. Uncle Paul would have said “sod this idealistic nonsense of mutual experimentation with peers, take lessons and offer a guarantee on the technical side and they’ll be queuing round the block.”
