Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far - I'm going to be seeing Felicity Kendal in Alan Ayckbourn's
Relatively Speaking tonight, which is pretty exciting (although I did start reading a book by him yesterday that gave away the plot, ooops...) Entirely unrelated to that, this week's book, blog post, and link come with a Shirley Jackson theme!
1.) The book - it was via Claire/Paperback Reader's Facebook page that I discovered the obscure Shirley Jackson novels I'd hankered after were - gasp - soon to be reprinted by Penguin! So,
Hangsaman,
The Sundial, and
The Road Through The Wall will all come out over the next few months. I'm starting to wish I hadn't spent a pretty penny on
The Sundial, especially since I still haven't read it...
2.) The link - the
New Yorker had a
great interview with Shirley Jackson's son last month...
3.) The blog post - hunting around for a recent Shirley Jackson post, I stumbled on a great review (and discussion in the comments section) of
We Have Always Lived in the Castle, over at
Estella's Revenge.
Have you read any/much/all of Shirley Jackson? Let me know your favourites, or you want to read next....
