QUICKSILVER to CONFUSION
Salon's lead items today are about Neal Stephenson's latest novel, The Confusion. The first is a long, very good interview with Stephenson, the second a brief review of the new book. I've been working my way through the first book in this trilogy, Quicksilver (The Confusion is the second volume, the third will be out this Fall).
These are very long, episodic historical novels of ideas, set during the brilliant explosion of the Enlightenment. They're dense, fun and challenging. I love them.
