Ever since I started watching _Mad Men_, it's tickled me to think that the time and place the show is set in (New York City, 1960 to 1966 so far) is the same as that of the bulk of _The Motion of Light in Water_. So when characters drop by the East Village, I think "hey, that's Chip's neighborhood!" There's also the contrast between Delany's depiction of his life vs. that of the closeted gay character on the show. And then, in a recent episode, we learn that a character has been writing SF stories in his spare time and getting them published in the SF magazines of the day... -- Erich Schneider [email protected]
