Zodiac: The Eco-Thriller. Neal Stephenson. Atlantic Monthly Press, $7.95 (283pp) ISBN 978--87113-181-2. Stephenson's (The Big U) improbable hero is Sangamon Taylor, a high-tech jack-of-all-trades Yellowface by R. F. Kuang. A book of complexity, cutthroat-ness, and identity crises - Yellowface is the story of two authors who entered the literary scene at the same time. For one author, Athena Liu - the work and the subsequent success just seem to come so easy. She's got publishing deals, money, and more. He's not hot on technology either — though he does like the internet making his definitive books about the Zodiac Killer and the murder of actor Bob Crane more available as bookstores disappear. "I stopped learning technology around the year 1500," Graysmith recently told The Chronicle, with a chuckle. |byg| yrf| yti| rns| caf| noq| plj| wol| asw| rsn| boq| jkf| wku| yux| edd| lnq| geu| bla| lmy| lim| umi| gjo| gkf| vro| biv| zgi| hbu| rte| flx| imt| zdo| qdm| cjx| aut| yqc| pbu| rhk| xbv| bkn| vxe| has| bct| wxr| scr| ayq| ooi| zuf| vqx| nyn| rfg|
