We continue to unearth previously unknown material through the work of Fiona Finks, AKA The Masters Student.

Think of it as GANTOB Anthology (volume 1). Like The Beatles, but with a snail and grapefruit.

These posts are from the book originally planned as Little Grapefruit At Sea, not previously published. So perhaps rollmops rather than moptops.

A newly added feature: listening notes, taking us to tracks old and new

Fiona Finks has provided some insights into her mother’s method during the GANTOB period. She would typically work a week or two ahead, dating her pieces in advance if she had a clear plan, but more often waiting until the narrative had unfolded and ordering and dating the posts from there. Sometimes there would be alternative versions.

The book that she worked on for a few weeks, late 2024, was called Little Grapefruit at Sea. Other similar titles were also used in her notes. Gillian Finks followed her more organic approach for this book, waiting for the story to reveal itself.

Pictures from inside Cushionpaw Tower, looking out over the bay, frequently including the boat and our two heroes, are featured in posts from a year ago. They also appear in full colour in the fourth book, GANTOB’s 25 Paintings, which has been printed, but is currently missing, along with The Benefaktor.
