_The Fall of Rome_ has come up once or twice on the Lafferty forums.
It's a pretty odd book. I had the opportunity to read most of it in a
library once. IIRC, it was sort of a nonfiction account written in a
novelistic manner, and I didn't know what to make of it because I
didn't know how much of it was standard history and how much was
Lafferty's extrapolations or interpolations or editorializing.
