Sine we talked lin has told me Peradan has totally a recognizable style. She even recognizes stuff like, the author of the novel a movie must be based on. (I was in awe.) I'm not someone to listen regarding who is recognizable, clearly. :P

I maybe would give you GarcĂ­a Marquez (though I would have to both re-read and read some of the authors I used to read when I read him, to see if the similarities are still there or were in my imagination) but Borges must be the most mechanical writer ever, I think. He has themes or images he repeats, of course (labyrinths! Libraries! Libraries which are labyrinths! Tigers! Mirrors!) but I'm not sure I would count that, though lin says I must. Though maybe I'm too used to him; I read and re-read his complete works during a good part of childhood.
