Tina asked Jasper Fforde:

If you could travel back in time to ask the Bard one question, what would it be?

Jasper Fforde Well, the plot of Cardenio would be handy, especially if I could buy the copyright, or perhaps to ask whether he thought Mel Gibson's 'glowering, gloomy Dane' Hamlet or Kenneth Brannagh's more 'Charismatic yet rapid descent into madness' was more what he had in mind. I could also ask whether in the Hamlet opening it is: "O, that this too too SOLID flesh would melt" or "O, that this too too SULLIED flesh would melt" as the folio is unclear and I'd really like to know one way or another as it is keeping me awake at night.

Brendan

Brendan asked Jasper Fforde:

Half way through The Eyre Affair and must admit to being a late bloomer to the Thursday Next series, I stumbled onto the seventh book at my library and loved the outline. How do you not get confused with the intricate storylines? Is everything planned in advance or do you finish a draft and just think you can push the mythology a little further? Love the series and can't wait to get onto Lost in a Good Book.
