DM, yeah, I noticed that too.
It's really interesting, isn't it? A story, within a story, within a story, as it were. Some things I find VERY interesting:
1) Gary Troup, author of "Bad Twin" and "The Valenzetti Equation"-- who is apparently openly critiquing the Hanso Foundation in his works-- conveniently manages to die off in a plane crash, a crash that just happens to be on an island containing an installation/project (Dharma) being run by the Hanso Foundation...
2) Troup apparently knew, and was attracted to, Cindy (the stewardess) -- and had made usage of her as a character in "Bad Twin" (it's implied that she was untrustworthy, like her counterpart in real life). Why was he on THIS particular flight? According to the letters, it was to meet with the Aussie publisher... wonder if this was "arranged", so that he would be on the flight when it was downed...
3) That Sawyer has/had a copy of the "Bad Twin" manuscript: the novel pertains to Cliff (and Zander) Widmore, and if that name sounds familiar, it should... because the Widmore Corporation keeps popping up in the series: http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Widmore
Oh, and another interesting link:
