Brusts, plural First of all, we have at least two Steven Brusts to deal with. One is the author whose books reviewers review and we buy, and to whom publishers pay royalties. He writes of Paarfi as his creation [TPG487]. Then there is the translator who interviews Paarfi [FHYA548-553], thus becoming a character in the world of the books written by Brust the author. There seems to be a third Brust as well: the interviewer, the "fool" who paid Vlad to tell him his life story and convinced him no one would hear about it [Ath9; also Orc16?]; or he may be the second in another guise. http://www.speakeasy.org/~mamandel/Cracks-and-Shards/cracks.html#Brusts -- Mark A.
