@zipties ABSOLUTELY. It’s completely unique, a work of actual genius both as SF/F and from a strict literary and structural standpoint. – 07:11 PM GMT
@zipties i found it tough going at first, because part of the work’s genius is the author’s close emulation of the voice of 19thc writers – 07:13 PM GMT
@zipties I have no patience at all with Austen and Eyre etc., as I find their formality of language appalling and obfuscatory. – 07:14 PM GMT
@zipties but those are the authors Clarke is channelling in the opening chapters. so it was tough. but i stuck with it, and it is fantastic. – 07:16 PM GMT

I’m sure that reading the book shortly after a visit to The Soane Museum in London helped. soane.org – 07:20 PM GMT
Clarke relied on the museum as a source of research and inspiration while writing the book, iirc. The museum’s library room appears in-book. – 07:21 PM GMT
Google image search results for the room: google.com/​search?q=soane… – 07:24 PM GMT
I had no idea of the association between the book and the museum as I read the book, and it was and extremely uncanny reading experience. – 07:25 PM GMT
The museum appeared in my mind’s eye for early 19th century settings and interiors. Then the book began to explicitly reflect that. – 07:28 PM GMT
It was literally as if the book had changed in content to more accurately reflect my expectations, print writhing behind each hidden page. – 07:29 PM GMT
It was an indescribable experience, just serendipity, of course, and not likely duplicable. An actual magic book. Fucking amazing. – 07:30 PM GMT
Other media referents for the book, which do not appear to have been directly cited by Clarke: the films “Barry Lyndon” and “The Duellists”. – 07:33 PM GMT
Both Kubrick and Scott directly lift shot compositions from specific 19th century paintings, Kubrick even relying on Horgarth. – 07:33 PM GMT
The Soane incorporates an astonishing and compact salon-style gallery that includes several large-scale Hogarth paintings. – 07:35 PM GMT
