Borges would have loved this. Indeed it's hard to imagine that Clarke was not influenced by him a little. I admit that I was fooled by my memory in thinking this was some YA novel about magicians--it's more of a literary experiment and character examination about what would happen if magicians appeared in early 19th century England. All your bros the Lords Wellington, Castlereagh, and Byron are here for example.
