Synopsis:
The Salmon of Doubt comprises eleven chapters of the novel on which Douglas Adams was working at the time of his death in May 2001, along with an astonishing collection of pieces recovered from his beloved Macintosh computer.
The plot of The Salmon of Doubt is as intriguing as its title and sees Dirk Gently simultaneously on the trail of half a cat and an actor whose sudden appearance is perhaps not as random as it seems. Starring alongside the pizza-addicted detective are Thor, Norse God of Thunder, Dave of Daveland and a highly confused rhinoceros called Desmond. Other fictional stories include ’Young Zaphod Plays It Safe’, featuring the intergalactic star of the Hitchhiker series.
Non-fiction pieces range from an earnest twelve-year-old Douglas’s letter to Eagle magazine, through insights into a teenage mind full of adoration for the Beatles and loathing for short trousers, to lectures reflecting Adams’s exceptional understanding of our natural, technological and philosophical worlds. Here too are articles on subjects as diverse as religion, the ’little dongly things’ making a mess of computers, the letter Y and Douglas’s love affair with two dogs in New Mexico.
