Salmon of Doubt
I've been listening to a recording of Douglas Adams' Salmon of Doubt this week and it's SOOOOO bittersweet. It starts with eulogies from his friends and various short works they found here and there on his pcs, all of which are interesting, and then the story itself, which was only half done when he died.
It hurts that it will never be polished and finished, but what was there was just amazing. It's alluded to several times that he was considering rewriting it from a Dirk Gently book into another Hitchhiker instead. *sigh* We'll never have that book. So many wonderful droll perfect phrases and observations that will never be read.
Now I need to go back and relisten to all the other Hitchhiker and Dirk Gently books again.
