Perhaps the memories of the time are too painful and he had to field some questions/inquiries from the media. I've been looking for more detail about his reaction but haven't found it yet...what I saw was part of another book review, in fact.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-37448584980494738432008-07-13T18:56:00.000-05:002008-07-13T18:56:00.000-05:00It would seem to be flattering to me.It would seem to be flattering to me.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-35554123188876056022008-07-12T11:09:00.001-05:002008-07-12T11:09:00.001-05:00It is, indeed, a good one, Jenclair.

From what I understand he was not at all happy when he found out that his experience had become part of a novel, however.

Even though it's depressing, I like to read about how people cope during difficult times. I haven't signed up for the Canadian Challenge because I'm terrible at completing challenges. But, I really need to read more by Canadian authors. Maybe I'll give it a try.
