2015-11-09: Web searches for data about "Eloy Viktor", "Viktor Eloy", "Lola, het kazernekind", and "De volkstellers" did not unearth anything that we did not already have on ISFDB other than that Ursula K. Le Guin was aware of the artwork done for the translation of her work and is reported to have said "aside from the awfulness of the artwork, the art is entirely misleading since, of course, the Gethenians are ungendered most of the time".[1] Image searches using cropped versions of the covers only found scans of the book covers including one person who has like-new-condition copies both books."Duisters linkerhand"[2] and "Het Eeuwige Leven"[3]
