I can promise you’ll never hear another word about it from me…

You may be (slightly) cheered to hear that in the U.S., all of the major prizes resisted shortlisting it. Thank you so much for letting me know, and I’d love to hear further developments on this one.

I was afraid people would pounce on me for using iambic trimeter instead of iambic pentameter as Shakespeare did.

I’m in debt to Stephen King for pointing out in the promotional materials for the book that Ophelia is a dog. His comment made immediate sense to me as did other canine parallels that he didn’t mention and that I hope to note within the next day or so.

I was psyched to see you tackle this book because I just got it from the library as well, but now I’m a bit nervous to start it. Ophelia’s the dog?! Hmm…
