Kareem Abdul Jabbar wrote novels about Mycroft???
That’s an interesting bitof info.
I don’t really think Mycroft was an interesting character in the original stories.
“Kareem Abdul Jabbar wrote novels about Mycroft???”
That was interesting to me, too. I’ll probably look into it. Here’s one avenue for further reading with Holmes you might enjoy: Laurie R. King wrote a series that gives Holmes a wife, Mary Russell, who is also a detective protege.
Appending to my earlier comment: like many FReepers, I did not read the article before posting so did not know that Laurie King’s novels are mentioned later in the piece. Mea Culpa... However, I do still recommend them if you enjoy Holmes.
I don’t care for his politics, but Kareem is a smart and interesting guy.
