THE WELL OF LOST PLOTSby Fforde, Jasper
Bookseller Information
Bibliographic Details
Book DescriptionViking, 2003. very minor bottom spine crease, tiny creases pp. 41-44, otherwise a near fine book and fine dustjacket. Britain's Prose Resource Operative, Thursday Next, has had one adventure too many touring the Western Literary canon. So when she spends some time in the Character Exchange Program down in the hidden parts of the Well of Lost Plots, she expects life to be uneventful. Not to be. This linguistic free-for-all attracts grammasites of all stripes who gather plot devices that are hawked on the black market, and poorly written books (like the one in which she is hiding) are thrown away. As frosting on the cake, a murderer is preying on Jurisdiction personnel. No one is safe from danger, especially Thursday. Fun! . ISBN: 0670032891. 1st Edition. Mystery. Book summaryJasper Fforde's third Thursday Next novel finds his heroine pregnant and working for Miss Havisham in the department of Jurisfiction. The legal stuff is getting her down, and a temporary assignment at the Well of Lost Plots, subbing for a vacationing character in a truly awful unpublished detective novel, sounds like more fun. But the crime, vice, and general mayhem Thursday discovers top anything she has seen yet. And to make matters just slightly worse, someone seems to want to kill her....Media Reviews"Like anchovies, Wagner, and Helmut Newton: will greatly appeal to people with unusual tastes--and befuddle everyone else." -- Kirkus Publisher NotesExhausted by her hectic stint as Miss Havisham's apprentice at Jurisfiction, Thursday Next, a Special Operative in literary detection, is delighted by a supposed respite in the Character Exchange Program in the Well of Lost Plots, a place filled with linguistic chaos, lousy books, plot devices, grammasites, and a murderer.
