Whispering Gallery 132
An exchange of letters between Dorothy Dunnett and her American editor makes fascinating reading in this issue of Whispering Gallery. In this correspondence, they discuss the editor’s reaction to The Ringed Castle, his concerns about the wider appeal of the Russian setting, aspects of the plot that need clarification, and a small matter of paternity!
We have a report from a member who visited the Dunnett Collection at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center in Boston, and spent a happy day examining the contents of the many boxes of documents held there.
The character of Julius continues to intrigue, we discuss how leadership manifests itself in the novels, and explore more of our author’s unique lexicon of words. And we have a new series, ‘That’s Relevant!’, focusing on readers’ favourite Dunnett places, surprises and squeaks.
