There's a similar emphasis on\nquestions of memory, identity, and perception,\ninnovative and deceptive narrative structures, and the\nuse of genre tropes to startlingly unusual ends.\nPriest's new novel, THE SEPARATION (published in the\nUK by Scribner), will, I think, appeal to Wolfe's\nreadership--an alternate history of World War Two\neffectively through the prism of the Uncertainty\nPrinciple.\n\n--Nick Gevers."
