This is of course, not a stand-alone work of fiction. It is instead a collection of works, from the unfinished Dirk Gently novel "Salmon of Doubt" to Douglass many columns and letters. You get a much better perspective on who he is, how he thinks and what he finds important than you could get from his fiction. I laughed my way through this book but from time to time I stopped, stricken by great sadness that Douglas is dead now. It sounds excessive but I really do see him as one of the Great Minds of history. I respect him, his viewpoints and his work.
