COMMENTARY
"Names is impenetrable as an armadillo, with the satire
being so subtle that many readers just didn't 'get it' and took it
entirely at face value. Perhaps the most memorable thing about
Names was that it managed to win the Drexel Essay prize without even
being an essay. Then, at the awards ceremony in Philadelphia, as I
recall, some people in the audience actually noticed that it wasn't an
essay. Well, it's too late to do anything about that now, they've
already signed the cheque!"
