LC: The Islanders is your first novel in ten years; what's next for CP? 

CP: I have three major projects in progress. The first to be finished (this week, if I quit answering your questions) is my first stage play, which is a dramatic adaptation of The Prestige. As of today I have no idea what will happen with it: it has been commissioned, and it is scheduled as a definite production next year, but this is a naughty world and a lot can go wrong on that long road paved with good intentions. Whatever, the play has been a real challenge to write, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. For contractual reasons I am not allowed to duplicate the film in any way, so there is nothing in common with that. (Most of the names are the same, but that's about it.) It is, however, true to the novel, much truer in fact than the movie. The plot is better, I maintain stoutly, and does not depend on the clonking twist ending of the movie. It has all been a reminder of how much good stuff they left out when they made the film. 

After that, there will be the next novel. This is called The Adjacent and I have written most of it. I was hoping to deliver it before the end of 2011, but the play has taken longer than I expected, so it will probably be finished in the new year. I'm saying nothing about The Adjacent before it is complete, but it is (for me at least) one of the most intriguing and complex books yet. 

Then I plan a break. I will have been working more or less non-stop for three years, with much still ahead. After a holiday, I have a novel in mind called The Mariners (that's a working or provisional title, because my titles are not usually firmed up until I've finished writing). This will be another novel set in the Dream Archipelago, and amongst many other things will deal with what happens to those ferries that get lost. I think it might have scaly sea monsters, rather than big hairy insects.
