Description

On Friday, May 11, 2001, the planet mourned the untimely passage of Douglas Adams, beloved creator of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, dead of a coronary attack at age forty nine. Fortunately, along with an impressive literary legacy—which includes seven novels and three coauthored works of nonfiction—Douglas left us something more. The book you're going to enjoy was rescued from his four computers, culled from an archive of chapters from his long-awaited novel-in-progress, in addition to his letters, speeches, articles, interviews, and short stories. In ways that none of his previous books could, The Salmon of Doubt offers the full, dazzling, laugh-out-loud connection with a journey through the galaxy as perceived by Douglas Adams.
