>Clarges is also one of my favourites. It's surprising since I don't hear it talked about often with regard to Vance.

I find it difficult to pin down what exactly makes "Clarges" stand out to me. Certainly the book is an entertaining critique of immortality without commensurate emigration. The world-building is thorough and compelling. However Vance's dialogue, while not as insipid as his earlier scifi, is also not his engaging best so the book is missing what is usually his defining attribute.

Which book (or series) is your favorite?
