You Know...Epic
An advertisement in the Seattle Times today reads: "From Neal Stephenson...it's your regular boy meets girl meets empiricism meets privateering meets the Glorious Revolution meets Louis Quatorze meets Turkish harems meets alchemy meets Samual Pepys's diaries meets slave rebellions meets neoclassism meets Adam Smith meets economics meets calculus meets the Great Fire of London meets the War of Spanish Succession meets St. Paul's Cathedral meets proto-computer technology EPIC."
Neal's reading at Kane Hall at the University of Washington tonight. I'll have my grubby paws on a copy of Quicksilver shortly thereafter. Doubt I'll be reading much else until, well, Stephen King's Wolves of the Calla comes out.
