While we're on the subject of other authors (and before we determine where
we're *supposed* to post these things), has anyone read Adam Lee's (AKA A.
A. Attanasio's) THE DARK SHORE (Book One of The Dominions of Irth).  You can
immediately see that this book bears at least a good bit of resemblance to
TBOTNS.  I haven't read it yet and what I'm wondering is this a cheap
knockoff of The Book, or a more sophisticated "metafiction" about the book?
Attanasio is a rather ambitious writer so I suspect the latter.
