The Who Am I Game?

[womanofdulwich]

Sorry no, classic literature, not music- but I admire your thinking Foxy

[DulwichFox]

Nobel Laureate Jose Saramago wrote The Cave

He was a Liberal

Am I even close.

Foxy

[womanofdulwich]

no sorry.

The main character of the book is not a liberal - but the character I have chosen is?

The foreward of the most recent copy of the book is written by a politician.

[stacey-lyn]

(Classic literature so nothing to do with the Mumford & Sons 'The Cave')

I think Foxy has it.

Cross posts. . .hmmm. I give up.

[womanofdulwich]

Other characters are called Misery,Linden and Bundy.

[civilservant]

my god it's the Ragged Trousered Philanthrophists, but can't remember who you mean

didn't think anyone read it anymore

[womanofdulwich]

whaddya mean no one reads it anymore??

Compulsory reading.

I need the character.

[aquarius moon]

Frank Owen

[womanofdulwich]

Nope.

[DulwichFox]

Crass ??

Bob Crass ..?

I'll try and work out why.. ?

Edit to include:-

Around the year 1905, in a seaside town on the south coast of England, a group of painters and decorators are about to have dinner ? what we Guardian readers call lunch. The men are renovating a big, ramshackle Victorian house called The Cave.

Foxy.

[womanofdulwich]

You have the book.Its not Crass.

I am looking for the liberal.

Remember the earlier clues?

[DulwichFox]

Fred Harlow was the Liberal

haa.. Harlow ... Essex

Foxy

[womanofdulwich]

Thanks Foxy.Well done. Over to you I feel I can now leave the house.

Everyone should read this book.

[DulwichFox]

Well that was very cryptic..

Still have not worked out the Gardening bit...

Will need to make this harder than my first attempt solved in about 5 minutes...

Right.. here we go...

First Clue..

'Fictional character that does not appear in the story line.'

I'm off out for some fodder. Check out all your answers soon.

Have fun.

Foxy.

[womanofdulwich]

Foxy, Harlow had an allotment which he attended to before he went to work.

[DulwichFox]

The fictional character of this piece of literature is referenced throughout.

The title of the piece is not the main character, may well qualify for a Bronze medal in his field of work.

and the main character's name is irrelevent if not unknown.

Too much given away here I think.

Harry Lime/The third man

[DulwichFox]

Not The right awnswer aquarius moon

But .. you really did get the clue spot on..

In a way.. you were very close to solving the first part of this 'Conundrum' [clue]?

The Book was first rejected by the publishers remained unpublished until the authors death in 1966.

First identify the Book....

The character is not in the story line of the book, but there are countless references to this ficticious

inventor and scientist. [big Clue]

Foxy

[womanofdulwich]

was it by C S Forester?

[DulwichFox]

Not by CS Forester...

Clue: When you look in the mirror, due to the speed of light, you see yourself as a younger person.

[El Pibe]

Dorian Gray?

[DulwichFox]

The Character I am looking for is mentioned by the author throughout the book.

Written in the First Person the name of the main characters is never revealed.

Big Clue to identifiy the Book.

?Who is Fox?", I asked.

"Policeman Fox is the third of us," said the Sergeant, "but we never see him or hear tell of him at because he is always on his beat and never off it and he signs the book in the middle of the night when even a badger is asleep. He is as mad as a hare, he never interrogates the public and he is always taking notes.?

Now find the fictitious inventor..

Sounds very Kafkaesque, Foxy. Rather Kafka meets The Prisoner.

But I'm obviously not that well read. So I'm out.

Blimey... stacey-lyn. had to look up 'Kafkaesque'

Marked by surreal distortion and often a sense of impending danger

That is exactly what the book is.

Written in 1940 / rejected by the publishers / finally published in 1966 after the death of the Author.

The work of an Irish literary genius..

Has become a fine example of Cult Literature..

Re-published frequently with new cover designs
