one of my all time top recommendations for any genre: comedy, sci fi, mystery etc |
It is my understanding that certain characters in that novel are based on real people in the science fiction convention community. The names were changed to protect the author from lawsuits.
The first time I read that novel, I was actually at an SF con. The sounds of the con in the background made the reading a multi-sensory experience.
