A S Byatt's agent

[Toby Levy]

I stayed up late last night to finish AS Byatt's wonderful new book, "The
Children's Book."  The last two pages of the book are "acknowledgements,"
and in the next to last paragraph she includes this sentence: "My agent in
the States, Melanie Jackson, has been both wise about the novel, and precise
about practical matters."

This begs the question as to how much Pynchon and ATD influenced The
Children's Book.  Byatt's book bears more than a passing resemblence to
Pynchon's.

I highly reccomend this book to all Pynchon fans.  Byatt is one heck of a
writer!
