    Thanks, Chris...it's worth a read, for sure, man. I still don't know how he pulled it off, to be honest. When I agreed to review it, I didn't even think about the game. I just figured it was called GALAGA, you know, just because. When I got the review copy and saw it was about a video game, my stomach knotted a little. Oh, man, what did I get into? You know, that kind of thing. But it works and works well! Let me know what you thought when you get a chance to read it, bud.

    Yes, great review. Very lucid articulation of Kimball's unusual and inventive structure. Each world frames the other. Powerful stuff, Sheldon.

    Hey, thanks, Barry. It's a helluva book. Took me by surprise when it probably shouldn't have. Michael is so talented a reader is pretty much always in good hands. Highly recommended.
