It's not available in these parts yet but I have a standing order at the
bookstore. Canada: five years behind every US trend, good or bad; six
months behind UK publishers' release dates.

I also noted a volume of his short fiction in the bookshop yesterday,
but I'm too broke to buy it.

Understand that. Budget cuts are hitting the donors of the agencies we drive
for - they are much slower issuing any expense recompense cheques (we
incur expenses for their clients and are recompensed the following
month) and the rates calculated haven't tracked the costs. It throws off
our cash flow to the point that we may have reconsider.

Are to referring to 'a blink of the screen' or a more recent book?

I have it and am half way through, but have been separated from it for the
week. It is much as you would expect: like1-3, but perhaps a little more
tired.

I'll post when I have read it.

Ditto, So far the fantasy bits are good, and there are some not to
surprising up to date revelations about the state of American educashun and
religious convictions.
