High Concept

posted by Zed on November 16 2006 21:57

There’s a successful mystery series whose high concept is: Jane Austen, detective. It’s up to half again as many novels as Austen herself wrote.

This inspired my latest million-dollar literary idea: Emily Dickinson solves locked-room mysteries… from within a locked room. Susan Gilbert can be her Archie Goodwin.

Millions, I tell you. Gotta run — I have to fantasize about how I’ll spend them.
