desperanceSo: it transpires that Spock's cousin is not going to narrate my novel Dispossession.
You may by now be saying "Yeah, so what? He's not going to be narrating my novel either, how is this news?" - and of course you're right, except that he - Jeff Nimoy, that is - had in fact been commissioned to do the work, only now they've decided they'd rather have an English voice instead. Which I find hard to argue with thematically, because, y'know, English writer of English character - but still. Spock's cousin. Geek points to the max. I cannot hide a little disappointment. (Besides, he was asking me how to pronounce stuff and everything. We were practically mates.)
