2008: Year of the -Fish
A happy New Year to you all.
While this space has been quiet, things behind the scenes at the Fishery continue at a brisk pace.
The Good Captain continues along, and I’ve gotten some lovely feedback from some readers. I encourage you to post your reactions, plaudits, brickbats and queries on the Comment Thread.
While the intrepid Captain Lockham continues to plumb the mysteries of Captain Dziga’s ship, I’ve been immersing myself in work for our second project. Spoon River Anthology is a book that most people know only though high-school reading assignments. But as I’ve delved deeper into the work, I’m finding it to be an incredible rich, profound, heartbreaking, funny and profane piece of work. My adaptation concept has changed about a half-dozen times as I pass through more and more layers of this complex world created by the fascinating E.L. Masters.
One invaluable resources has been the great Definitive Online Edition of Spoon River Anthology, assembled by Paul Houle. Go over there and check it out - you’ll find some of my comments.
After Spoon River, there are two more projects I’m laying groundwork for. More detail as they get closer to fruition.
We’re aiming to make 2008 a year of exciting and challenging stories. Stay tuned for much more.
