OTOH, Tim received - I suspect - more than fair compensation. And his = novel is being reissued in April. I am reminded when China Mieville was in DC at Politics & Prose some time = ago and he was asked if he's be concerned if a movie of "Perdito Street = Station" would ruin the book. He thought not, since the book would always = be around. His other comment regarding a movie was "Show me the money." Also, Tim & Serena gets a round trip flight to Reno in August. mjw
