I pulled the bio out of a public library computer probably sometime around
1996-97. Unfortunately, the 3 tattered pages I still have don't give much
to go on as to their source. The only "credits" to be found are a heading
that bills "DISCovering Authors Modules" and a copyright in the name of
"Gale Research, 1996". My brief Google search on those names yielded little
of importance.
The rest of the bio is essentially the same information put into paragraph
form with a few more details thrown in here and there. After that, is a
summary and review of ZMM (the review is relatively positive but ultimately
concludes that ZMM is "...a novel in need of maintenance, an amorphous
essayistic narrative of grandiose promises and undelivered goods, an
emotional turn-on that lacks modesty and compassion, and a
philosophical-autobiographical-detective thriller by someone who needs to
brush up on his philosophy"). After that, it begins a summary of LILA...
which is where my copy ends.
If I get some time, I'll try to copy some more of it into a post. Or if
you'd like, you can send me your address (privately) and I'd be happy to
mail you photocopies of the pages.
take care
rick
