Gilligan's Wake
''Gilligan's Wake'' (ISBN 0-312-29123-X) is a 2003 novel loosely based on the 1960s CBS sitcom ''Gilligan's Island'' from the viewpoints of the seven major characters, written by ''Esquire'' film and television critic Tom Carson.
The title is derived from the title of the TV show and ''Finnegans Wake'', the final work of Irish novelist James Joyce. The book was acclaimed critically, drawing comparisons to the works of Thomas Pynchon. Its nature as a "secret history" featuring numerous fictional characters is also similar to the Wold Newton Universe. The novel was published subsequently as a paperback in 2004 (ISBN 0-312-31114-1).
==Plot summary==
Each of the seven castaways narrate an autobiographical story—almost totally unrelated to the events of the show—in order of their mention in the show's title theme. Their stories intersect with a character named John "Jack" Gilbert Egan, a Marine-turned-CIA operative, whose own life is the meta-narrative which ties the novel together. Each chapter features an important person or object in the lives of the castaways whose name is an anagram of "Gilligan"; additionally, a character whose name is a variant of "Susan" and Maxwell House coffee appears or is referred to in each story.
