(Though mine's by "Scott Bakker", not "R. Scott Bakker" ;))<br /><br />I wonder what the significance is of his (non-Second Apocolypse) main characters having names with religious connotations (Bible, Disciple). Meh, probably nothing.<br /><br />I wish him luck breaking out into the mainstream but I imagine he's too polarising. Hopefully nothing will get in the way of finishing his fantasy books in a timely manner :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-20947692615273727042010-09-12T02:48:43.148+00:002010-09-12T02:48:43.148+00:00Apparently DotD is supposed to have greater mass a...Apparently DotD is supposed to have greater mass appeal. <br /><br />I'm going to reading it for a number of reasons, and to find out what Bakker considers "appealing to the masses" is definitely one of them.*<br /><br />* Particularly since before this post on his blog, he made one saying that DotD would be more fuel for the people accusing him of sexism.
