Christopher Priest 1943 – 2024


Time Comes For Us All (Announcement)

“You never understood, why we did this. The audience knows the truth: the world is simple. It’s miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you... then you got to see something really special... you really don’t know?... it was... it was the look on their faces..”. - From his work, The Prestige

in reply to Joseph Teller

The Prestige was also made into a film, but the books is better than the film in many ways. It is a difficult work to present since it has a story within a story....but the film does have a good cast :

Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, and David Bowie as Tesla.

Ah, yes... I remember that movie. It was pretty entertaining. But, of course, the book is better... always are, as far as I'm concerned.
