The Wind Is Never Gone: Sequels, Parodies and Rewritings of Gone with the Wind 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

by M. Carmen Gómez-Galisteo (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

More than seventy years after its publication in 1936, Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind has never been out of print. An icon of American culture, it has had similar success abroad, popular in Japan, Russia, and post–World War II Europe, among other places and times. This work analyzes the continuations of Mitchell’s novel: the authorized sequels, Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley and Rhett Butler’s People by Donald McCaig; the unauthorized parody The Wind Done Gone by Alice Randall and a politically correct parody; and the many fan fiction stories posted online. The book also explores Gone with the Wind’s ambiguous ending, the perceived need to publish an authorized sequel, and the legal battle to determine who may re-write Gone with the Wind.

1.0 out of 5 stars Vanity publication, and not a very good one
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2013

The author attempts to address the reader's desire for a resolution to the open ending of Gone with the Wind. There is a lack of organization, and no coherent thesis guiding the development of the subject. Gomez-Galisteo's literary analysis is superficial and garbled. Two chapters are devoted to the treatment of Gone with the Wind by writers of fanfiction. This struck me as attempting to produce a work of scholarship by reading the Classic Comics version of a great book and proceeding to analyze the pictures as a critique of the original. Writing of the way the Civil War figures into the story, the author contradicts herself when she first says the war does not figure significantly in the story (??!!), but then describes how Mitchell performed meticulous historical research so that her novel accurately portrayed events in the war.

Don’t waste your time or money.

As its nearly endless lists of citations and references testify, this is a scholarly work. Unfortunately, like an elderly professor's lecture, it is also tedious, not to say boring.
