Comics legend Alan Moore has finished the first draft of his second novel, Jerusalem – and it runs to more than 1m words.
His daughter, Leah Moore, made the announcement on Facebook on Tuesday, adding with a wink that “now there’s just the small matter of copy editing” a book of that length, “and it’s all done”. To put that “more-than-a-million-word document” into context: Samuel Richardson’s doorstopper, Clarissa, runs to around 970,000 words, 200,000 more than the Bible . War and Peace is around 560,000 words long.
