Goodbye to the creator of Wrinkle in Time
Madeleine L’Engle, at the age of 88 has died. There is more in this New York Times article. From that article,
The “St. James Guide to Children’s Writers” called Ms. L’Engle “one of the truly important writers of juvenile fiction in recent decades.” Such accolades did not come from pulling punches: “Wrinkle” is one of the most banned books because of its treatment of the deity.
“Why does anybody tell a story?” Ms. L’Engle once asked, even though she knew the answer.
“It does indeed have something to do with faith,” she said, “faith that the universe has meaning, that our little human lives are not irrelevant, that what we choose or say or do matters, matters cosmically.”
More information on her work is available on her Wiki page and another obituary is available through Publisher’s Weekly.
*Raises glass to a fine fine author*
Goodbye…
