Ghost writers in the sky
Jan. 21st, 2010 11:49 pm2010 is already historic: this was the year the Poe Toaster didn't show. He may now be enjoying a sherry with Poe himself in the shadowy realms of Hades.
In other literary news, a new Gormenghast novel has been found in an attic. (Of course in an attic. Where else would you find a Gormenghast novel?) This one was written by Peake's wife Maeve Gilmore from her husband's leftover notes.
Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "Christopher Tolkien", right? And rolling your eyes? Well, it may be merited. But if you've read Titus Alone, you know that Peake in his later years would have benefited from a ghostwriter in any case. The new book won't be Peake-- lugubrious, lunatic, stormlit Peake-- but it may still be interesting.
