The creation and afterlife of 'The Pickwick Papers' is the subject of Stephen Jarvis's novel, 'Death and Mr Pickwick'. This vast, intricately constructed, indeed Dickensian work is at once the ultimate homage to a much-loved book, tracing its genesis and subsequent history in fascinating detail, and a damning indictment of how an ambitious young writer expropriated another man's ideas and then engaged in an elaborate cover-up of 'The Pickwick Papers' true origin. Few novels deserve to be called magnificent. 'Death and Mr Pickwick' is one of them.
