Irish author Christopher Nolan (43) has died. Nolan suffered from cerebral palsy and used a pointer attached to his head to write three books. His autobiographical work “Under the Eye of the Clock” won the Whitbread Prize in 1988. Nolan, who attended Mount Temple Comprehensive school, inspired U2 to write the song ‘Miracle Drug’.

Such a sad and at the same time amazingly inspiring story~
Enjoy, with a true sadness and glory, this quote about Christopher Nolan:
“His brain is crammed with words; there is no way for them to get out. He found a way to let those words out, thank God”
and about the book..
The main character in the book is Joseph Meehan (notice the obvious “me” in the last name?)
An autobiography really written as a biography…
Interesting to say the least.
From all that Christopher Nolan persevered through in his 43 years on this earth…Incredible in so many ways-
Certainly can help you sort out your own ‘road blocks’ and priorities-
~Godspeed to the Nolan family~

once again his story was not sad or inspiring
rather it was as he wanted it to be-
he was a writer and a great writer alongside beckett, and
all the rest of the best-chris refused movie offers because they dwelled on his crippledom and his mom’s perserverance. chris wanted to get past this to his writings and his ability as an author to write-quite simple really but not a movie-for hollywood would have torn his life apart and added and subtracted-u2 and bono saw the truth and sang the truth -thats all-the rest is his writings-
