Sad news, this morning: Author Daniel Case died at the age of 86, his American publishing company Thor announced
Case also wrote other books, but me and other millions of people know him in particular: Algernon's flowers. This is the story of the 68-year-old smart cleaner Charlie Gordon, "I really want to learn, life is clever, not stupid."
After the experiment with the experimental mouse Algernon succeeded, the university researcher conducted an experiment at Charlie and changed him to a genius. "You know Charlie, as we have tried it now, we do not know how this test furious at Pepul." But Algernon's new intelligence began to disappear, he died, he To leave
This book is a series of diary entries written by Charlie, his spelling, grammar and clarity of thought are improving - "This is all beauty, love, truth are integrated. ... Please do not forget how to do reeds and ceremonies ... "
An article about the death of the case of the New York Times reveals the premise that in 1945 he was impressed when he was waiting for the elevated train to take him from Brooklyn to New York University. In the memoir of 1999 I write the case as follows. "I think that my education is pushing the wedge between me and my loved one, and then I want to know.
The case first wrote an article about Charlie in a short story, spreading him to the novel, and in 1960 he won the Hugo award in 1960 when he won the nebula in 1966. This story also won the Oscar as a movie Charlie of 1968
I strongly appreciate the flowers for Algernon and I think it is perfectly wonderful. My copy is an introduction by Jon Courtenay Grimwood, he called the book "Genius work". That is really nice, but I think he is right. As Greenwood said, the flowers of Algognon are "eerie perfection". This is one of the books I think is destined to write, somehow - the idea behind it is so perfect as it is very disturbing
According to the website of Case, there are opinions that novels have recorded sales of over 5 million copies and have never been out-of-print since publication.
"Of course, it is very sad about that news, but Daniel Case lived long and he left a good legacy to us, this is a wonderful, painful book," says Keith's British publisher Simonspan Ton said. Goranchi. "In its cruel focus and tragic story, it was conveyed in the form of the first person's story and its essence got the heart of acquiring and losing it. For me, this is the most grievous of that kind It is a book. "
"PS, if you go through, put some flowmeters in Bak Pier's Algernons tomb." RIP, Case. Thank you
One of the most painful stories I have ever read is flowers for Algernon. Amazingly because of that concept: It is about mentally disabled people who became a genius through medicine. He fell in love with the scientist who worked together. But then the effect began to reverse ... Oh God, I can not even bear to think about it. My point is that the better your premise and concept, the easier it is to create a better story. It is difficult to resist the urge to start writing but I encourage you to add some thought to your concept / premise. Do not think about what you think first. Q: Can you do better? What is cooler, better, hotter and more tragic (whatever you float your boat).
