  • Prepping for JK Rowling’s “The Casual Vacancy”

    Posted at 11:37 am by Laura, on September 24, 2012

    To prepare yourself for Rowling’s adult novel, out tomorrow, here are some excellent articles I’ve found about the work, her feelings toward the new book and genre, and how she and her publishers think it will be received.

    1. MuggleNet posted a link to The New Yorker‘s lengthy interview with Rowling entitled “Mugglemarch” which proves to be an excellent read. Definitely take the time to look through it.
    2. The Guardian also provides a journalistic interview as well, squashing all the hyper around a who-dun-it mystery thriller and getting to the heart of Rowling’s intention: to write, not to make money.

    I’ve got a reservation on the book. I’m looking forward to reading something new from her. She could write anything and I bet I’d be interested, simply because she’s a great storyteller.

    • Hello, I’m Laura!

      I'm a bookish bookworm and book hoarder. By day I'm a literary agent, and by night I'm forever rearranging my bookshelves. I could talk your ear off about Gothic literature, and in my past life people thought I'd become a professional musician. I have a fluffy black cat named Rossetti, I love to travel, tea is my drink of choice, British TV is the best, and I'm always down for chips-and-queso nights. Welcome to Scribbles & Wanderlust!
