Alan Moore discusses The Great When

The year is 1949, the city London. Dennis Knuckleyard is a hapless eighteen-year-old who works and lives in a second-hand bookstore. One day, on an errand to retrieve rare books, Dennis discovers that one of them does not exist. It is a fictitious book, yet it is physically there in his hands nonetheless. How? It comes from the Great When, a dark and magical version of the city that is beyond time. There, epochs blend and realities and unrealities blur. If Dennis does not take this book back to the other London, he will be killed.

With the first book of his new 'Long London' series, 'The Great When', now out Northampton's finest Alan Moore has been appearing on various zoom interviews of late.  This one was hosted by a Canadian bookseller and in it we get an interesting overview of what the wizardly wordsmith is up to with the series.

It's a little tentative in parts and I look forward to other videos further down the line that have him in conversations with folks who are less in awe but this is still an interesting watch.
