21: the Final Unfinished Voyage of Jack Aubrey
“He had also begun typing the same material and had made revisions to the typescript. The printed version of 21 presented here follows the author's revised typescript, with the correction of a few obvious omissions and errors of spelling. But it is not to be supposed that these pages are exactly as O'Brian would have wanted them to be in a final draft, or had he seen proofs of his book. There are occasional word repetitions and rhyming echoes — how he abhorred these! — that he would surely have ...caught on subsequent readings. The typescript ends in mid-sentence (page 114), and chapter 3 continues — without conclusion — in O'Brian's own hand. The facsimile pages include such wonderful curiosities as O'Brian's sketch of the seating arrangements for a dinner party, and the reader is granted a last, intimate glimpse of this extraordinary writer practicing his craft.
