And in the what the fuck category

How does the agent and publisher have more control than the family? I don't understand this and the whole thing makes me really angry.

Poor Douglas Adams didn't want his unfinished work to be published and of course it was and of course I would never read it because it would be a betrayal to the author.

Neil wants his unpublished stuff burnt when he dies and I can totally understand that. The difference between a partial first draft and a completed novel is like the difference between an amoeba and a giraffe. (I like giraffes. They are ungainly and charming rather like myself.)
