Framing the Dialogue

That is not a typo on the book name; it is author Don Brine’s attempt at a parody of the more famous book by Dan Brown.  My guess is that Brine (AKA Adam Roberts) wants not only to parody Brown’s best seller, but trivialize the theories in The daVinci Code.

“a man had a very cunning theory which he wrote down in a book, and it proved to be very popular indeed…But then it turned out that this very cunning theory was not so cunning after all because it wasn’t true.  Not even remotely.  Not even a tiny bit likely.”
