David Grann - The Devil and Sherlock Holmes (3)

I finish this collection of true stories by David Grann. He writes in the vein of Malcolm Gladwell only his stories are longer and more detailed. The title story is eerie. It concerns the world of people devoted to Arthur Conan Doyle and that most famous fictional detective named Sherlock Holmes. There are people in this world who so into Holmes that they have trouble separating reality from the fictitious Sherlock Holmes. The author brings up an interesting question. Which fictional character seems most "alive?" I agree that the winner is Sherlock Holmes.
