[edit] Casimir and Bud
I'm pretty sure that Casimir and Bud are both black; maybe not Casimir, but I'm pretty sure about Bud. Can we get some external links to, say, interviews with Stephenson where he talks about this book? GoodSirJava 04:45, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
I would consider it highly, highly unlikely that a character named "Casimir Radon", whose family comes from Poland, is Black! I think the pallor of his skin is mentioned a couple times as well... Unfortunately, I can't lay hands on my copy of TBU right now. You are correct about Bud, though. --JdwNYC 20:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Casimir is most certainly not black, and is described as 'pale' several times throughout the novel. (obvious eastern european descent aside)
[edit] Infobox
I uploaded an image of the cover from Amazon Online Reader, tagged it, and used it in the infobox for this book. Frijole 14:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
