marvelous and useful toy which enables one to find new writers one might like. i plugged in dorothy dunnett and it came up with some names i don't even recognise. exciting!

Oh, my, that's cool! I just plugged in one of my favorite writers (Mark Helprin, as it happens) and found he maps to quite a few of my other favorite writers (Sherri Tepper, Ursula LeGuin, Robertson Davies), along with quite a few I've never heard of.

It would be fascinating to learn what variables they're using to connect people. Must bookmark this for later perusal...
