Famed 'Watchmen' author is using a 9-year-old's fan letter as a book blurb
Back in 2013, a 9-year-old named Joshua Chamberlain, from Northamptonshire, England, had an assignment to write a letter to the author of a book. And so, he sent a letter to Alan Moore, the famed author of "Watchmen," "V for Vendetta," and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen."
"All in all you are the best author in human history," Joshua wrote. "Please write back."
Moore wrote back, with a long, kind letter talking about his work and sending Joshua a few more of his books. The exchange is published in Letters of Note. "Thanks again for a great letter," Moore writes in closing.
Now it looks like Moore, in fact, will use Joshua's note on the back of his book, according to The Guardian. Moore's newest novel, "Jerusalem," comes out in September, and a part of the letter is on the back.
Great job, Joshua.
