Maybe some of you will too.

what an unusual idea. have you read the book? and have you plans to visit this museum? assuming it can be visited; i didn't see that it said. anyway, very neat.

What a cool, albeit expensive, way to experiment with narrative. Thanks, Brian.

yes, it is an unusual idea!

I'm going to read this, and dig further into the story of the museum, but I'm intrigued, especially because it's from someone of his stature. This type of real-world/fictional narrative mash-up has been going on in gaming,advertising (of course!)pop film and genre books (a topic I've been researching for a while), but this is the first I've seen in literary fiction. I can see a day where it's not uncommon for real world individuals could become part of the narrative and interact with the story. Not sure I'm looking forward to it, but it's coming.

I've got the book. It's a real book with pages and a cover too. The realism is uncanny. When do you want to crack it open?

Ordering today. Finishing Let the Great World Spin (which is damned good) and several friend ms's, then good to go.
