The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time (Dirk Gently Series #3)
On Friday, May 11, 2001, the world mourned the untimely passing
of Douglas Adams, beloved creator of The Hitchhiker.s Guide to
the Galaxy, dead of a heart attack at age forty-nine. Thankfully,
in addition to a magnificent literary legacy.which includes seven
novels and three co-authored works of nonfiction.Douglas left us
something more. The book you are about to enjoy was rescued from
his four computers, culled from an archive of chapters from his
long-awaited novel-in-progress, as well as his short stories,
speeches, articles, interviews, and letters.
In a way that none of his previous books could, The Salmon of
Doubt provides the full, dazzling, laugh-out-loud experience of
a journey through the galaxy as perceived by Douglas Adams. From
a boy.s first love letter (to his favorite science fiction
magazine) to the distinction of possessing a nose of heroic
proportions; from climbing Kilimanjaro in a rhino costume to
explaining why Americans can.t make a decent cup of tea; from
lyrical tributes to the sublime pleasures found in music by Procol
Harum, the Beatles, and Bach to the follies of his hopeless
infatuation with technology; from fantastic, fictional forays into
the private life of Genghis Khan to extended visits with Dirk
Gently and Zaphod Beeblebrox: this is the vista from the elevated
perch of one of the tallest, funniest, most brilliant, and most
penetrating social critics and thinkers of our time.
