It's always fun to have an author on our show, and even more so
when the author has written a book that has gotten many popular
reviews lately. Graham Moore was inspired to write
The Sherlockian after
discovering the character in his childhood and discovering that the
people who admire him are an interesting lot.
Burt and Scott go inside the mind of the author to discern his
intent, determine the origin of the fascination with Doyle, Holmes
and Sherlockians, discuss inaccuracies (were they intentional or
not?), and find out just what it's like — in his own words
— for a 28 year-old to write a novel for the first time; a
daunting task, regardless of one's age.
We take a bit of a departure with our tradition of reading the
Editor's Gas-Lamp this time - tune in to hear where we took our
inspiration from and how we share it with you.
