Thanks for that. As soon as the chaos at Real Work calms down I'll poke around at Absolute Write, like I've been meaning to do for ages.
I've been meaning to ask alg too. I've been following her LJ for a while, and I was about to post a question on that thread when I got involved in a minor argument with commenters on another of her posts. Hopefully that's all blown over and forgotten by now.
On the one hand a novel about Oxford academics ought to appeal to Anglophile Americans, but on the other hand we're talking socialists-with-money, which is either going to come across as quaint or completely alien to those readers. And then there's the whole Richard/James dilemma (and implied Charles/any-suitable-student) thing, which kind of fits the late 80's better than it fits current sensibilities.
