Margarethe Zubler-Keller, Scarlett and Dilcey

We all know Scarlett, but who is Dilcey and why does she share the title of Margarethe Zubler-Keller’s definitive sequel to Gone with the Wind? Scarlett and Dilcey finish what Margaret Mitchell started and left unresolved. Oh, and a little bit about love, a nifty little murder, and touch of social climbing.

Margarethe Zubler-Keller read Gone with the Wind for the first time when she was ten or eleven. She read it for the last time when she was thirty, before embarking on a thirty-nine year journey toward publication of Scarlett and Dilcey, her answer to Margaret Mitchell’s lovely and seductive book. She studied English literature (mostly 19th century) at Cal-State, Fullerton and currently makes her home in the Pacific Northwest. She is a citizen of Switzerland as well as being a naturalized citizen of the U.S.
