Holy Fire

Sterling is a better speaker than he is a novelist in my estimation. Rich ideas, Ideas that a real writer creates characters and pathos with. There is something charming and intelligent at work in this book, but there is something of the very "artifice" that is the critique of one of his characters Paul. So he is aware of this and tries unsuccessfully to transcend it, at least for me. Clearly a problem with this book is getting past being a pastiche. Lots of relevant ironies, but ultimately too grounded by concepts and not enough solid story telling.
