Review: Baroque Cycle concludes with a gilt trip

[...] Although Mr. Stephenson is now a big gun in
publishing's arsenal of serious novelists, his name is
printed smaller on the cover than the title. This is
due to his introverted personality, his apparent
graphomania and his obvious disdain for celebrity. He
may be weary of questions about his "similarity" to
Thomas Pynchon. His books are, like Pynchon's, capable
of overpowering the normal brain. But perhaps their
weightiness is due to divine essences in their pores.
[...] 

Yeah, and you can see his disdain for celebrity up
close and personal on his book signing tour this
month.

"Excreta-Dude" Keith will be taking first crack at the
divine essences in his pores, I'm guessing.
