The Who guitarist Pete Townshend says that, following the completion of the band’s 50th anniversary tour, he’ll be working on his “magnum opus,” which will include the publication of a “short novel.” “Celebrating 50 years of the Who also allows me to celebrate 52 years of life as a commercial songwriter (my first song, ‘It Was You,’ was published in early 1963),” he told Barnes & Noble. “I am reviving my solo archive work, and continuing to commission folios of all my ‘operas.’ I am writing new songs all the time. I have worked with Nate Barr on The Americans, and done a number of other collaborations. I am working on a magnum opus that will begin with the publication of a short novel in 2016.” Townshend will be at B&N’s NYC Union Square location signing copies of Pete Townshend’s Classic Quadrophenia on May 29.
