Bleeding Edge

[Mark Thibodeau]

Right.

Well, it doesn't surprise me because I don't think that Bleeding Edge a)
penetrated very deeply into the zeitgeist (no matter how interesting it may
have been to die-hards such as ourselves), or b) was seen by hoi polloi as
a novel wherein the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 played a
particularly important plot element. Even to those who knew it played a
role, it was more often than not seen as sort of a background thing... kind
of a texture on the canvas upon which the REAL stuff of the story was
painted (if I may torture a metaphor to within a pubic hair's breadth from
death).
