About
Why Not Catch 21? is an expansion on Gary Dexter's long-running Sunday Telegraph column. Each of its fifty chapters focuses on the origins of one of the great titles of world literature, presenting a bite-sized piece of literary history, with fascinating details of the work's genesis and composition. The emphasis is on titles that are literally inexplicable without this background knowledge.
