Handel! Mithraism! Southend-on-sea!
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2004 02:24 pm"A certain kind of debt, which might make sense only to novelists, ought to be acknowledged to the late Dorothy Dunnett and to Alexandre Dumas."
- Neal Stephenson, Acknowledgements, The System of the World.
Does Mr Stephenson know something about Dumas that we do not? Is not he, also, Late?
( more, but pretty much spoiler-free )
For what it's worth, I enjoyed it very much indeed. And intend to reread it, paying especial attention to diverse Bits, just as soon as my Brain has digest'd it.
Please will someone else finish reading it, too, so that I can talk about it?
