I've never heard of him, but his work seems intriguing.

Nope, never heard of him. But judging from the weak (reread it to see if I was being too harsh. Nope. Just the opposite.) bit of text the guy posted, I'd say the guy's a shill. That, or he has no taste.

Hey, don't insult Pigeon like that. He could be a shill and tasteless at the same time!

Dan Pigeon? Yeah sounds like a flying pest to me.

Well, maybe the guy was quoting from memory, thus Pigeon's genius was passed through a filter of atrociousness. But I think that might be one 'pull' too many from the 'fountain of hopeless optimism.'

And why doesn't "one of the most accomplished fiction writers of the modern age" have a Wikipedia entry?

It has something to do with the fact that he invented the term "Wickedpedia" way back in 1984, in chapter 4 of Stealing Megatons. I'm sure that after the lawsuit's finished, his entry will grace the hallowed halls of Wikpedia.

So will we be dissecting Mr. Pigeon's Shattered Night? Maybe it's time KW devoted serious scholarly time to other authors. Is Pigeon the next Donald R. Stephenson?

You guys just made him up, right?

I had nothing to do with making anybody up; I just saw the thread on another site and thought you guys would be interested in Pigeon.

Lots of things produce crap. Pigeons do other things, like carry notes and stuff. What else do you do, danlo?
