Greetings: Might I recommend a look at Greg Brear's new work, "City at the End of Time". The Prolog (that's how it is spelled in the book, although my spell check is disagreeing with me) reminds me of a certain author with the initials GW. Not as dense, but the echoes are there! F.P.

GB is OK. I know that Wolfe likes him (he told me so). Not quite on the Wolfe/Crowley level, but a good solid writer. .

I haven't read that book, but could 'Prolog' be a reference to the Prolog programming language?
