The Salmon Of Doubt: Douglas Adams

Dirk Gently is back, and on the trail of half a cat and an actor whose sudden appearance is not as random as it seems - and the pizza addicted detective is aided in his search by Thor (Norse God of Thunder), Dave of DaveLand and a highly confused rhinocerous called Desmond. There are also the tales of Young Zaphod Plays It Safe and The Private Life Of Genghis Khan, written with Graham Chapman. There are also non-fiction pieces which range from an earnest 12 year old Douglas's letter to Eagle magazine; insights into a teenage mind full of admiration for the Beatles and loathing for short trousers; lectures that reflect Adam's exceptional understanding of our natural, technological and philosophical worlds; and articles on religion, the 'little dongly things' making a mess of computers, the letter Y and Douglas's love affair with two dogs in New Mexico.
