I'm not a Grateful Dead fan, but apparently Brokedown Palace is full of references if you are. The only one I really know about is near the end, when the phrase "Here lady, here's your fan" appears -- and that, only because it was told me.... And the title itself is apparently the title of a Dead song.

If you read Taltos, Yendi, and Jhereg with an eye to time references, there are inconsistencies. Taltos has to take place years before Jhereg does, just from the relationships among the characters in the latter; but in Jhereg there's a reference to Yendi taking place "last year", and in Yendi Vlad says "I've only had my own area for half a year". I talked to Brust about this at a signing one time, and he handwaved that in the latter reference, Vlad meant "had" as "held securely", as opposed to "having in his own name". That's probably about the best that can be done.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
