Description
The Hopkins Conundrum blends the real stories of Gerard Manley Hopkins and the ship-wrecked nuns of his most famous poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland, while casting a wry eye on The Da Vinci Code industry in a highly original mix of fiction, literary biography and satirical commentary.
Tim Cleverley inherits a failing pub in Wales, which he plans to rescue by enlisting an American pulp novelist to concoct an entirely fabricated mystery about Gerald Manley Hopkins, who composed The Wreck of the Deutschland nearby. Blending the real stories of Hopkins and the shipwrecked nuns he wrote about with a contemporary love story, while casting a wry eye on the Dan Brown industry, The Hopkins Conundrum is a highly original mix of commercial fiction, literary biography, and satirical commentary.
