Competition: provide a PS to a classic

Spectator literary competition No. 2820

Barbara Hardy’s Dorothea’s Daughter and Other Nineteenth Century Postscripts is a collection of short stories in which Professor Hardy imagines significant conversations between characters some time after their novel has ended. These postscripts enter into dialogue with the original narratives by developing suggestions in the text rather than changing the plot in any way. How about coming up with your own postscript to any well-known novel?

Please email entries, of up to 150 words, to lucy@spectator.co.uk by midday on 16 October.

Here are the results of this week’s challenge, in which competitors were invited to provide poems, in the manner of Harry Graham, questioning the wisdom of popular proverbs.
