John Higgs is one of my favorite writers, and I really like David Lynch, so I was really pleased when John announced his book last year on Lynch, Lynchian. I wanted to buy an ebook, and I assumed it would be released in the U.S. After all, Lynch is an American and he has plenty of fans in the U.S.
I've seen no signs of a U.S. edition, however, so I finally asked John about it. He replied, "Alas, there are no plans for an American edition, I think mainly because it's a short 30,000 word thing. There's an Italian edition out later this year, but no American. And while getting the UK hardback online should be no problem, it does mean that there's no legal way to get the ebook or the audiobook. That I know of, anyway."
I will just have to order a paper copy and have it shipped to me, I guess. I'd still like to be able to get an ebook, but apparently that isn't easy to do and involves lying, such as pretending to be a resident of Britain.
