The long wait ends
February 24, 2004 – 6:09 pmAbout a year ago, an interesting book came to my attention: Jasper Fforde’s The Eyre Affair. Once I got around to starting, I quickly fell in love with Thursday Next and her surreal world - a world in which you’re more likely to get a caller at your door trying to convince you that Marlowe wrote Shakespeare’s plays than you are to get a Jehovah’s Witness, and in which an inventor can create a device which allows people to actually interact with (and in some cases alter) works of literature.
Thursday’s adventures continued in Lost in a Good Book, and Fforde stories remained just as enchanting, clever, and engaging as The Eyre Affair promised.
Given all that, you can imagine my excitement when I heard that The Well of Lost Plots has finally been released in the US (it’s been out in the UK for several months) - and even better, that the fourth book in the series will be out (on both sides of the Atlantic) in August 2004.
Even as we speak, the book is winging its way towards me. Speed on, FedEx man!
