What's with all these Swedes? I am a Swede too. I think it's the same over at the Jack Vance site. (Some particular tilt of the soul, that likes this specific kind of fantasy?) What about Danes or Norwegians? I don't see any of those. Or Germans (a huge population comparably)? Strange odds. Or French, Poles, Italians, Spaniards, South Americans, Mexicans (millions and millions, and close to the US), Canadians, Chinese (billions) or Japanese? Not a single one.
But there is one Finlander here!
In one of his stories, or letters, CAS slightly suggested that Swedes were dull-whitted, or lacking in imagination. I don't know if I could argue against that! Cold climate (and overprotective social-democrat collectiveness) gives little room and time for unfettered thoughts besides the handling of basic practical chores.
Hey, maybe someone should try contacting a Chinese to translate CAS?
