The author seems to have read everything by, and about, the Inklings. Not just that, she's up on the latest thinking about the process of writing and collaboration -- not just from a literary view, but from a psychological and sociological perspective.

There are two other narratives: one following Marcelina Hoffman, a producer of trash TV, living a thoroughly modern life in the Rio of 2006, and one following her seeming antithesis, Father Luis Quinn, an Irish Jesuit priest on a Heart Of Darkness-style voyage across an appalling Brazil of 1732.http://www.sfsite.com/07a/br251.htm Postscripts Magazine: by Title -- compiled by Rodger Turner- July 1, 2007 In the spring of 2004, PS Publishing launched a new magazine called Postscripts.
