Title: Madeleine L'Engle
Post by: SusurrusIgnoramus on 11 Sep 2007, 10:56

I don't know if anyone heard about this, but Madeleine L'Engle died last week... I just found out about this today.  It doesn't seem like this wonderdul author has gotten the press she deserves.  Or, maybe I just don't pay enough attention to the news.

Here is a very nice obituary:

Note, she went to Smith (Smif) College!

Oh wow.  A Wrinkle in Time was the best, I really loved it she was amazing.

while i was never a fan of the books, she was obviously a very talented writer.

Oh man, this really sucks, I loved that series as a little kid and its actually one of the larger impacts on my life. And to think the majority of the general public probably guage her work on that crap mini series that came out a few years ago.

I just found this thread :(
I read Wrinkle in Time and Wind in the Door. Great books, both of them.
RIP
