Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Aurelia for White Dwarf #41, and stated that "this is Lafferty, pushing 70 but still a bizarre and original author who's an acquired taste, and the book bulges with jokes and philosophy (hard to spot which is which), tall tales and weird people; horned men, sinister yo-yos, doppelgangers, the extra prime number between 5 and 7, and a worm with a gun. Indescribable. I loved it."[1]

gollark: > Patent terms are set by statute. Currently, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States. Many other factors can affect the duration of a patent.
gollark: Again, I'm pretty sure that is not how patents work.
gollark: If you change it slightly, you can patent the *new* thing, not the *old* one.
gollark: That... is not how patents work.
gollark: It seems really weird that nobody is making cheaper insulin, considering that patents on it have probably expired by now. Are there difficult regulatory hurdles?
