Proust, James Joyce, Caliban upon Setebos, Shelley's Prometheus Unbound, Shakespearean poetry and even William Blake and Virgil's Aeneid
.
Plot introduction
The novel centers on three main character groups; that of the scholic Hockenberry, Helen and
third-person, past-tense narrative in all other instances. Much like Simmons' Hyperion where the actual events serve as a frame
, the three groups of characters' stories are told over the course of the novel and their stories do not begin to converge until the end.
References to the real world
The "Paris Crater" location (a devastated French capital) includes a few references to the real world, supposedly produced by
Hôtel des Invalides", "Champs Ulysses" for "Champs-Élysées" or "Guarded Lion" for "Gare de Lyon". A single reference in passing is made to the mountain "Pikespik" (for "Pikes Peak
").
