No, no, no, just read the book. It's a great read, my favorite Iain
M. (and I like all that I've read) and you don't need to know
anything about Elliot or The Wasteland. Pick it up and read it, it's
a barnburner.
If you're going to wait to read anything until you understand Eliot's
"Wasteland" you're never going to get anything read, period. :)
_Consider Phlebas_ is an enjoyable book. So go enjoy!
