Interesting idea for a movie. Unfinished mystery that doesn’t resolve and allows everyone to imagine their own ending.
Been reading dickens for 40 years. My favorite. My name here at FR is from a dickens novel. This the only novel I have yet to read by CD. Interesting article. Thanks for posting
Dan Simmons, one of my favorite authors, wrote a book “Drood” that mixed fact and fiction about Dicken’s novel together into a compelling mystery.
It’s a big book, and it explores the mysteries surrounding Dicken’s novel.
If you read the Dickens novel, the Simmons novel should be on your list.
Gradually, he fell into that deep tranquil sleep which ease from recent suffering alone imparts: that calm and peaceful rest which it is pain to wake from. Who, if this were death, would be roused again to all the struggles and turmoils of life; to all its cares for the present; its anxieties for the future; more than all, its weary recollections of the past!
— Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist p.88
BBC’s Horrible Histories has a great Charles Dickens video/song - when it’s available!
And I shall!
Was is ever published? Is it available at our local book stores?
