Highly anticipated since its initial online appearance and immediate viral proliferation, first-time authors and ersatz Victorian scholars Joy DeLyria and Sean Michael Robinson have painstakingly created a satirical and fictional world based on the characters and narrative of television's most loved drama, "The Wire."
To be published in time to celebrate "The Wire's" tenth anniversary, "Down in the Hole: the unWired World of H.B. Ogden" is a collection of excerpts and illustrations from "The Wire," a Victorian serial novel of DeLyria and Robinson's invention, credited to fictional author H.B. Ogden. Excerpts from Ogden's work are knit together by the history of the novel, its author and illustrator, and the adventures of the passionate archivists who uncovered this forgotten text.
"The Baltimore Sun" writes: ..". This] quintessentially Victorian vision of Ogden's "The Wire."..is a scintillating piece of faux-scholarship. It's set in an alternate universe where the HBO series doesn't exist--and where "The Wire" in any form, including Horatio Bucklesby Ogden's, has yet to be discovered."
"Gawker" asks: "So, how long before we can actually buy this illustrated version of "The Wire"? I'd put it on my Amazon wish list now if I could."
