Hi John -

Probably a long shot, but I wonder if this could have any relationship
to "Felix Forrest", a pseudonym for Paul Linebarger, better known as SF
author Cordwainer Smith. I have read that Felix Forrest is a pun of
sorts related to the transliteration of "Linebarger" into Chinese
characters, which in turn can be interpreted as "Forest of Incandescent
Light" (this is all from memory, so I may have some of the details
wrong). Linebarger pere et fils have an extensive association with
Chinese culture and politics.

Hi Tim. This is a delightful theory, and I'll pass it on my correspondents,
although I'm fairly sure it won't be the same man. See my other response to
John about the location of the books.

My thanks to all I really enjoyed this thread. Something was solved and
I learned something about pictographs.
