Jeeves&Wooster reboot?

Hi guys!

I've just known that Sebastian Faulks' going to publish a new Jeeves&Wooster novel - "Jeeves and the Wedding Bells" on 4 November. He wrote that the new novel would "be faithful to the history and personality of Wodehouse's characters but by shining a different light on them will also show how robust, durable and lovable these creations are". Two opposite feelings fight in me. From the one side he may destroy our beautiful canon, from the other - engage new people to us.

What do you think about this?

I think it'll be interesting. He's not Wodehouse, so I'm not worried about canon, but I don't know anything about him. So he might be just as good as some of the fic writers here, but I don't know that yet ^u^

Yeah! It is the right word - interesting
