Douglas Adams’ widow has retreived the manuscript for the sixth and final Hitchhiker’s novel from the dead author’s harddrive, and we can expect to see A Salmon of Doubt on the shelves in about a year.

“We have pored over Douglas’s hard drive. There were so many different versions of the novel.

“He would take it and then revise it repeatedly so there were many files.

“As soon as he wrote anything he would say, ‘Oh, God that’s terrible’. He was a very, very self-critical author and so had a lot of trouble writing. He was a perfectionist.”
