J.K. Rowling's new book, The Casual Vacancy, out September 27th:

Hold on to your hats, people: the publisher Little, Brown has just put out a press release giving us the title of JK Rowling’s new book The Casual Vacancy! The book will be out on the 27th September 2012 (worldwide release date) and Little, Brown also provided a plot summary:

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock.

Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.

Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.

And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?

Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.

Ultimately there’s an echo of what Lily did, quite a conscience echo, right at the start of the story, at the very end of the story. At the start of the story Lily dies to keep her son alive. At the end of the story Harry lies, pretending to be dead, on the ground, and it’s another mother who saves him again because she’s trying to get to her own son. That was closing a circle. He was saved by Lily and saved by Narcissa.

“You can have a very intense relationship with fictional characters because they are in your own head.”

- J.K. Rowling (via hbks)

Sometimes I just think about how wonderful a person J.K. Rowling is.

And how different my life would be without her. How completely, hugely different.

I wouldn’t know any of the people I am talking to at this very second. I wouldn’t have any of the things on my wall, I wouldn’t have a full bookshelf, I wouldn’t have as much of an understanding for love and what it truly means, and I wouldn’t have a passion.

I wouldn’t be me without her.
