->''I often use real places and historical events much the way working artists use reference photos when arranging their compositions; not because I am trying to draw a portrait of the model, but as a quick way to get proportions and perspectives right for a coming overlay pursuing quite another purpose. Readers who try to process the result as portraiture—either as historical fiction with the serial numbers filed off, or as historical critique—are using inappropriate viewing protocols for this style of composition. Attempts to draw exact one-to-one correspondences between my impressionist fiction and history thus naturally tend to go awry. Granted, spot-the-references can be a fun game, especially if it leads to more reading.''

Then I tried 'Capital City,'...Then I flipped through the New York City phone book and spotted the name 'Gotham Jewelers' and said, 'That's it,' Gotham City.
