I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
wasn't this machine in the Terry Pratchett book, MAKING MONEY? the "crazy" guy in the tunnels, making his machine which controls the economy?
