J.K. Rowling recently announced her new novel, The Casual Vacancy. According to Rowling, the "blackly comic" book will be a departure from the Potter series, focusing on the events of a small idyllic town. While this is a perfectly reasonable narrative for an author to pursue, I think J.K. Rowling isn't doing this right. The past decade of fame and fortune following the UNPARALLELED WONDER that is Harry Potter allows her the freedom to write absolutely anything she wants for this next book. No matter what, people are going to read this first non-Potta book, because they'll want to see what non-magical things she has to offer.
Think of the possibilities, J.K.
The possibilities are endless, J.K.
J.K., but seriously. (geddit x3)
