Latest Erikson

[Paul L. Maliszewski]

The latest Erikson is Arc 'd X.  It does have a Pynchon blurb from what I 
remember (I don't have the book in front of me).  In many ways it is like 
is Mao II blurb.  Maybe we could begin discussing the _forms_ blurbs 
take, you know, analyzing them in terms of the conventions of the genre.  
I'm joking.

Anyway Pynchon's blurb goes something like this:  This is the freshest 
bit of American writing since The Declaration of Independence.

Hopefully someone will be able to correct my paraphrase.
Incidentally, would someone please comment on Erikson--I've looked at Arc 
'd X quite a few times, just never bought it.  Worth reading?
