Mervyn Peake & Maeve Gilmore memoir - ETA update??

[Anonymous]

On the 1st October I drove over to Wigtown for the Annual Scottish Book Festvial specifically to catch an excellent talk by Sebastian Peake on the life and work of his father. I would highly recommend to readers to try and catch one of his future forthcoming talks. See mervynpeake.org for details.

During the talk he displayed the orginal drawings for forthcoming Sunday drawings book. However, there was no mention of the forthcoming, and much anticipated, memoir.

Any further potential estimates/guesses/ideas on the publishing date of 'Love - a Mervyn Peake & Maeve Gilmore memoir'.

Sebastian probably didn't want to say too much, given that I'm so late on the memoir. I've actually scrapped everything I've written so far and am starting again. I'm finding it extremely difficult. I know you wouldn't think that, but it's the case. I've already done some work on The Sunday Books, however, and I'm sure Denoel will bring it out next year. It will, of course, be in French. It might be possible to provide a translation here after the book's published.

Thanks for the open and honest response.

I do appreciate that it must be a very difficult book to write. However, to say that it is highly anticipated is somewhat of a chronic understatement!

Many thanks and kind regards
