In the book world, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “lost” novel is out this month, hailed as one of the literary events of the year. Marquez was suffering from dementia at the end of his life and didn’t want Until August published – but, ten years since his death, his sons have decided to share it with the world. The novel is a “posthumous amuse bouche, no more or less,” [writes Robert McCrum,](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnzp15P0T4aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvYXJ0cy1lbnRlcnRhaW5tZW50L2Jvb2tzL2ZlYXR1cmVzL2dhYnJpZWwtZ2FyY2lhLW1hcnF1ZXotdW50aWwtYXVndXN0LWJvb2tzLWIyNTA3MjU3Lmh0bWw_bGlkPXN0em10NmljOTI5aiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YnJhemUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPUluZHlBcnRzIE5ld3NsZXR0ZXIgMDktMDMtMjQmdXRtX3Rlcm09SU5EX0N1bHR1cmVfTmV3c2xldHRlcl9DRFBXBXNwY2V1Qgpl6XkY7GX_VoU5Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) in a fascinating review that grapples with the custodianship of literary estates and the tricky question of whether to go against a late writer’s expressed wishes.

The manuscript has disappeared, and Comyns has faded in and out of obscurity since she began publishing in the 1950s.

A contemporary aesthetic is half-indulged – Lear’s opening divestment is framed as a press conference, with the fuming monarch batting down a row of media microphones – but never to the point of distraction. Like all great Lears, this one shines thanks to the strength of its cast. At 53, Danny Sapani makes for a youngish lead, but one adroit at navigating both the character’s iron temper and pitiable decline. The three daughters, (Akiya Henry, Faith Omole and Gloria Obianyo) are all superb, as is Fra Fee’s nauseatingly charismatic Edmund, while The Wire’s Clarke Peters commands the stage as an almost over-qualified Fool.

It was a period dominated by Damien Rice’s O, Katie Melua’s Call Off the Search, Dido’s No Angel, James Blunt’s Back to Bedlam. These albums were era-defining – the musical score that underpinned an entire decade of dinner parties, and the sonic backdrop to every iconic film and TV series. Jones’s songs featured on everything from Maid in Manhattan to Love Actually to Two Weeks Notice. The gentle guitar twang, brushed drums and acoustic bass of “Don’t Know Why”, alongside Jones’s intimate vocals and jazz-infused piano-playing, still evoke a wistful nostalgia 22 years on.
