Sadly, I have no information regarding the author of the 'Mother of Pearl Novel'. It could be a novel from a specific genre or a regional work. If it's a self - published work, it might be even harder to track down the author. You could try reaching out to book clubs or online reading communities to see if anyone has heard of it and knows the author.
The 'Mother of Pearl Novel' could potentially revolve around the concept of mother of pearl as a symbol. It might tell a story where the beauty and rarity of mother of pearl are paralleled in the life of the main character. For example, if it's a historical novel, the main character could be a noblewoman whose life is as lustrous and valuable as mother of pearl. The story could explore her challenges, loves, and losses within the context of the time period.
Well, 'Pulp Fiction' is famous for its nonlinear narrative, vivid characters, and pop - culture references. 'Clutch cargo' could potentially be a reference to a prop, an action, or even a character's name in some alternate or fan - created context related to the movie. However, in the main body of the movie as it is widely known, there is no obvious 'clutch cargo' element. It could be a new or personal interpretation that needs more explanation to be fully understood.
The 'old man clutch story' is rather mysterious without more context. It could be a fictional story where an old man uses a clutch in an unexpected way. For example, in a post - apocalyptic world, an old man finds an old vehicle with a clutch and he uses it to start a journey that changes his life. Or it could be a story from someone's family history where the old man's ability to fix a clutch - related problem was a turning point in the family's economic situation.
I don't know of any off - hand. It seems like a very specific combination. 1850 novels were more focused on storytelling rather than including crosswords. And'mother of pearl' is a rather unusual item to be in a crossword in a novel from that time.
I'm not sure which 1850 novel specifically has a crossword with'mother of pearl' in it. There are many novels from that era, and it would require a lot of research to determine if there is such a combination in a crossword within a novel.
Adventure could be a common theme. Given Clutch Nixon's likely nature (assuming he's an action - oriented character), fan fictions might revolve around his exciting escapades.
