A Sarcastic Commentary on the Canon by Nicholas Meyer

[dreemyweird]

God, would I buy this book in a heartbeat. I just finished The Seven-Per-Cent Solution; it was okay, but the truly excellent part is the tongue-in-cheek footnotes. They're hysterical.

It is a frustrating pity that Watson did not set down the case. As it is, the Polish government's reward to Holmes for tracking an orangoutan through the sewers of Marseilles must join the number of tantalizing references the doctor makes to other cases he never saw fit to chronicle. We may infer (from the reward mentioned) that the case was brought to a successful conclusion; but how successful? If Holmes had succeeded entirely, might not the Polish government have awarded him the Order first class?

Meyer is it okay if I love you for this

Actually, I found the whole book rather tongue-in-cheek, complete with popular culture references of all flavours. And I like this tone more than what I imagined it would be like - a super serious and full of h/c account of Holmes's ordeal in Vienna. (Although I like the h/c, too).

Is it, like, a thing? Or do people generally treat The Seven-Per-Cent Solution as tragic and serious?

I haven't read (or seen) The Seven Per Cent Solution (yet) but that paragraph is pure win. Also, blatant Poe/Holmes origins reference, making it winX10. I would like footnotes like this throughout all of an edition of canon instead of Baring-Gould's annoying and pointless existence kthnx.

It's a pastiche. No, it is THE pastiche. Look the word up in the dictionary, and Meyer's mug will be right beside it. The movie also achieves (IMO YMMV etc) just the right balance of pathos the book did as well.

I've never read t, butnow I really want too (I even own a copy that has sat untouched). I already love Meyer for his Star Trek work and things he's said about it.
