Glad you liked Unwritten (and thank you for fulfilling my selfish motives in reccing it by expounding on the sorta-Feuchtwanger reference ;). Since I read in trade I didn't see the supplementary material and now I'm going to have to get a hold of that!)
Also, I'll make sure to get that Mojo issue (the last one I bought was, not surprisingly, the one with the Springsteen cover story and 'Bruce's playlist' CD, which was quite worthwhile ;)).
I'm glad you liked it! And I'm glad you provided context for some of those references -- I liked them, generally, but there's a reason I moved away from being a lit major into being a media studies major; I don't quite have the passion to acquire an encyclopedic knowledge of literary history. But I'm happy to read what knowledge you present!
Issue 17, by the way, is fantastic, and I will find a way to get it to you soon. :)
I'm looking forward to it, and am profoundly grateful. Also my knowledge of literary history is shamefully lacking on some regions and thus far from encyclopedic; I just lucked out with the things Carey referenced! (Having written your thesis about Lion Feuchtwanger helps. *g*)
I agree with you about Let It Be working better the more simply it is done, I think my favourite cover is probably the Nick Cave version. I may have to track down this edition of Mojo.

...well, despite the early death of the parents being a, um, bad patch, George and Michael seemed to be doing okay up until they died young (unless, I suppose, Michael's really was a suicide? And, incidentally, I would like to get a hold of that sculptor in a private room for a little while so we can Discuss his not using one of the children the story/character was BASED ON as the model for the statue). But...good god, poor Peter. I can see that story having that affect (though no doubt there was way more to his problems than that).

Yes, George until his death seems to have done fine, and we'll never know about Michael, though sadly given that homosexuality was still illegal (and Barrie was a contemporary of Oscar Wilde's; the case would have been very much in everyone's living memory at the time) and the (boy)friend was a good swimmer, it's at least a strong possibility. Too right about the sculptor.
Peter: yes, definitely other factors as well - finding out all of your children have Huntington's alone must be horrible, and wiki says he had just reached Michael's death when working through the family papers - but growing up knowing everyone sees you as this particular character can't have helped. And oh, the irony of "to die would be an awfully big adventure".

My Peter Pan obsession and morbid curiosity require that I ask for more information that I am sure I will live to regret.
