Referring to Ori's recommendation of Mario de
Carvalho's book: I strongly second this. A GOD
STROLLING is magisterial stuff, and as an account of
paganism hovering on the brink of Christianity, it has
particular resonances with LONG SUN.
Which leads me to a related topic: we've often spoken
of GW's affinities with the Robert Graves who wrote I,
CLAUDIUS; but what of other classicist historical
novels that may have bearing? Compare the narrative
voice of Severian with that employed in Marguerite
Yourcenar's MEMOIRS OF HADRIAN for a start.

Just to note that there's no need to get uncorrected proofs from eBay. Amazon seems to be regularly shipping ON BLUE'S WATERS now. My order was mailed today.
