Special thanks to __Carrots__ for recommending to discuss Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!
Hello readers and writers!
Welcome to this week's discussion on British detective fiction author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Most notably, Doyle created the character Sherlock Holmes and published over fifty short stories about the eccentric detective and his sidekick John Watson.
His first story, A Study in Scarlet was published in 1887 and was the beginning of the iconic duos partnership in detective work. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works on Sherlock Holmes are typically known as milestones in the crime fiction scene.
Our discussion question for this week:
How do you think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would react to the more modern depictions of Sherlock Holmes? Which popular movies and tv shows do you think he would most approve of? And why? Examples: Sherlock, Elementary, Mr. Holmes, Sherlock Holmes and A Game of Shadows, etc. (Also, feel free to suggest more and share your favorites!)
Please feel free to add any questions of your own to pose to the community. We welcome any other discussion or comments on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and look forward to your responses.
