Birthdays

On this day, October 23, in 1942, Michael Crichton was born in Chicago, Illinois. A bestselling author who often mixed science with thrillers (The Andromeda Strain, The Terminal Man, Jurassic Park), he had a medical degree from Harvard but never sought a practicing license. Many of his books were made into movies, some of which he directed himself. He also was the creator and executive producer of the television series “ER”, which launched the careers of Anthony Edwards, Juliana Margulies and George Clooney. In 2002, a newly discovered genus of ankylosaur was named in his honor (Crichtonsaurus bohlini). He died of cancer in 2008 at age 66.

Birthdays

On this day, December 3, in 1857, Joseph Conrad was born in Berdichev, Imperial Russia (modern
Ukraine, then a part of Poland). While he settled in England and wrote in English, he always considered himself a Pole. Heart of Darkness, one of the most famous of his 20 novels (which explores colonialism and the attitudes regarding what constitutes a barbarian versus civilized society) is considered one of the best English novels of the 20th century, as is his novel Lord Jim, which chronicles a crew’s abandonment of its disabled ship. Conrad died in England in 1924 at age 66.
