I mentioned in my old blog that:

  • Trevanian (Rod Whitaker) is my favourite author
  • Shibumi is my favourite book
  • Whitaker’s daughter, Alexandra, collaborated with him on some of his later books
  • She is going to complete his unfinished work, Street of the Four Winds

I took the liberty of writing to Alexandra back in January to see how things were progressing with her own book and SOTFW. She was kind enough to reply as follows:

“it’s all coming along. Thanks for your encouragement.”

So we can look forward to a “big canvas, large-cast, Nineteenth Century novel” (his words) from Rod and Alexandra.

You can read more about the book here (you can even read the first chapter)
