|
| rdfs:comment | - The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is a 1988 humorous fantasy detective novel by Douglas Adams. It is the second book by Adams featuring private detective Dirk Gently, the first being Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. The title is a phrase which appeared in Adams' novel Life, the Universe and Everything to describe the wretched boredom of immortal being Wowbagger, the Infinitely Prolonged, and is a play on the theological treatise Dark Night of the Soul, by Saint John of the Cross.
- The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is Douglas Adams's 1988 sequel to Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It deals with multiple dimensions, Norse Gods, refrigerators, murder and record company contracts. It can be seen as a comedy/mystery/science fiction. It was adapted into a radio serial for BBC 4 in 2008. The radio series takes a few liberties, but stays mainly close to the source material and clears up a few of the more confusing plot points. Followed by The Salmon of Doubt (unfinished).
