"Hoax"? ...! edit
Did anyone apart from folk who are a little slow on the uptake actually believe this was a work of non-fiction? Did no-one actually spot that the book was not categorised as fiction or non-fiction on the jacket? Did no warning bells ring when the narrative encompassed the Shakespearean authorship question, an alleged purge of violinists conducted by the Vatican, and the true origin of Springheeled Jack? People this dense don't deserve to be able to read. Garrick92 12:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
My brother gave me a copy of this for my birthday, with a card reading "Let me know how far through this you are when you've worked out whether or not it's a piss-take." :o)
(As for the Shakespearean authorship question, that didn't ring warning bells for me since it's represented in the museum at the (reconstructed) Globe Theatre in London as an ongoing debate...)
As I say at Talk:Rohan Kriwaczek, P. D. Q. Bach is an article. I'll point out here that this fictional work about funerary violin is in that same vein. — tbc (talk) 02:23, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
