  • Queen's Gambit has just won the Golden Globe for Best Limited Series and Best Actress--and it's well deserved. But the movie is based on a book, which is based on the real-life events of Walter Tevis's life. This video talks about the life of Walter Tevis, and how it influenced his other novels, including The Hustler, The Man Who Fell to Earth, and the Color of Money.

      I will always recommend Imajica to people. Clive Barker I think is at his best when he's telling giant fantasy epics and is unencumbered by reality. Also, if you like the idea of Starship Troopers, you should try Armor by John Steakley. Kind of the same backdrop but I feel like a much better story.

    I had signed up for a literature course taught by Daniel Keyes (author of Flowers for Algernon) when I was at Ohio University. Mr. Keyes' class was full, so I "ended up" in Mr. Tevis' class. I'll never forget the first day he strode into the classroom. He said that he was Walter Tevis, "and for those of you who are disappointed you didn't get into Daniel Keyes' course, I wrote The Hustler." Boom. LOL. I never regretted being in his class. He was such a fascinating individual.

    I THINK QUEENS GAMBIT WAS JUST FORESHADOWING HOW WANDA IS JUST EMOTIONALLY DEPRESSED AND THEN EVENTUALLY STICKS THE MIDDLE FINGER TO AGATHA

  • @ryadinstormblessed8308

    My favourite author? Brandon Sanderson!
    I really want to see all of his universe of novels turned into a series of series! Each of the worlds he created can & does stand alone as its own trilogy or larger series, and each one is utterly fascinating. But then the more you read them, the more you realize they're all connected in ways that are only just recently starting to fully manifest in thre story lines (up until noe there have only been hints).

    That's called an iron lung Ryan

    • @London755
      @London755 Před 3 lety

      The editor used a photo of an iron lung probably because of how Ryan described it as a "metal tube". Tevis had a rhumeatic heart condition though, so an iron lung wouldn't be helpful in treating that condition, but it was far and away the most common "metal tube" medical device.

    This was cool even though I have never heard of him, the book, or the show. Even if I did click on the video without reading it and thought Gambit was going to come through the multiverse...
