Today I was looking at a few sites relating to places and people referred to in Dan Brown’s book, “The Da Vinci Code”. I thought about posting them here on Pacific Highlander but thought better of it. I started a new blog instead.
It’s The Da Vinci Code Online.
Not only are the non-fiction people and places of the Da Vinci Code real — but even the fictional characters are based on real people.
For example, Edouard Desrochers, the Mitterand Library archivist in the Da Vinci Code is named after the archivist at Exeter Academy, a school Dan Brown attended. Others are listed in Chapter 4 of Dan Brown’s Road to Success, a biography of Dan Brown.
ha ha. a new blog. you can’t help yourself.
Duncan, go on ya but wow, how do you maintain them all!
PS. I gather anonymous is trying to imply his missives support the “factual” basis of the book. I wonder if he’s also aware that some of the “historians” Dan Brown draws on were authors of “The Stargate Conspiracy: The Truth about Extraterrestrial life and the Mysteries of Ancient Egypt”?
Methinks Dan Brown gets rather confused about the distinction between fact and fiction and mixes them up on more than one occasion.
