Luckily, Martyn had completed what I'm sure he considered the pinnacle of his work: Porter. Tragic, though, that he never saw its release. It would have been an even greater tragedy, had he been struck down before finishing.
What did Martyn leave unfinished? I can't believe that he wasn't working on another book. (He asked me about self-publishing because he was so pissed off with how long it took to get a book published.)
Not to go all fanboy, but (meaning I am doing) how much material is there that hasn't been published? Including stuff chopped from Porter. I'd buy a book with that in. Niche, made possible by self-publishing.
A compilation of his, often very long, always hugely informative, blogposts would make a great book. And preserve them in print. As Zythophile is no longer there. Fuck. This material really needs to be saved.
Maybe I should get in touch with his brother.
