Troubled Blood, John’s selection as Rowling’s greatest achievement to date, deserves two Lake and Shed conversations.
In this first exchange, Nick discusses Rowling’s history with the divinatory art of astrology and the occult resources and reference works she brought into play in writing a novel whose primary embedded text is a murder scene’s astrological chart. John talks about the astrological clock structure of twelve houses in which Galbraith tells this remarkable story.
