cyrano(I was going to put a link to that post I made about the San Francisco Victorian story but of course I can't locate the entry anywhere.)
Another dream that might be a story last night. A Cyberpunk Shakespearean troupe, with character archetypes from Commedia del' Arte (the innocent, the brute, the clown, the lothario, they guy who does the dirty work)--I'm not certain how much of the role is the character and how much is the player, but I'm thinking it might be amusing to swap them up so that (f'rinstance) the player who does the clown roles is, in life, the brute. They're on some kind of quest. And there should be a play within a play. Other than that, I'm still looking for ideas. Possibly one of them is an unfairly deposed ruler, that's sufficiently Shakespearean. Perhaps there are twins involved. Feel free to jump in.
I'm reading Thomas Pynchon (Crying of Lot 49) but I'm not sure for how much longer. He reads like Vonnegut, but without the humor, and I don't really care what happens to anybody. I'm only on page 50, so we'll see what happens.
