	Amazon.com: The Banyan Tree: Books: Christopher Nolan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Nolan's lyrical flights, highly evidenced in his Whitbread-winning memoir, Under the Eye of the Clock, published when he was 21, fly even higher here, a mix of the unabstract poetries of Beckett and the soundscapes of James Joyce.
		Nolan, for all the Celtic emoting he accommodates here, remains clear-eyed; and there are no pat solutions or tidy conclusions to this tale that stays true to life while at the same time redeeming it through a love of language and a belief in its ability to forge lasting ties among people and things.
		Nolan has what is called his "Unicorn Stick", attached to his forehead and with the assistance of a helper; he types his works one letter at a time.

	Christopher Nolan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christopher Nolan (born July 30, 1970) is a British film director, writer and producer.
		Nolan had said that while he was content with his directing resumé, he had always dreamed as a child to direct a big blockbuster film, and he got his first opportunity to do so in 2003.
		While Nolan wrote the screenplay for this adaptation of the Ruth Rendell novel, he looks unlikely to direct it, reportedly since it "has a lot in common with the three films [Nolan has] made" [3].

	PW: Christopher Nolan: Against All Odds - 3/13/2000 - Publishers Weekly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Nolan is her 34-year-old son's chief interpreter--it took them years to work out a system of communication--since Nolan, spastic since birth, can neither talk nor control most of his physical movements.
		Nolan manages to throw out one arm and tilt his head toward a corner of the room, signaling his mother to turn his wheelchair in the direction of an electric heater.
		Set primarily in the rural Irish county of Westmeath, where Nolan was born, the plot involves an AIDS victim, a dissolute priest, a greedy landowner and a vagabond son and is written in a soaring lyric key.

	Nolan, Christopher: Under the Eye of the Clock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Born breech and deprived of oxygen for two hours, Irish poet and writer Christopher Nolan was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and is unable to speak and virtually unable to move voluntarily.
		In terms of disability, Nolan's stance is poised between endorsing the idea that his body is a prison or coffin--and that he should be incredibly grateful for the kindness of non-disabled people--and claiming himself valuable in the particularity that marks his body as in his distinctive intellectual and creative abilities.
		While Nolan's book doesn't overtly argue that disability is social, environmental, and interpersonal in nature, the memoir offers successive examples--all encouraging--of this reality; the entire Meehan family is actively involved from dawn to dawn in providing the assistance that gets Joseph to school on time or allows him to complete his weekly college essay.

	INTERVIEW: Mindgames; Christopher Nolan Remembers "Memento"
		Christopher Nolan: There's this weird irony, because you actually find yourself as a filmmaker in the position of the protagonist that has to trust these notes he's written himself.
		Nolan: It's been a weird organic process, because my brother told me the concept when he was writing the story.
		Nolan: Since I was a child, I've been really interested in the concept of empathy between individuals and the concept of putting yourself in someone else's shoes and that kind of relativism.

	Bookreporter.com - THE BANYAN TREE by Christopher Nolan
		Christopher Nolan's bucolic novel, THE BANYAN TREE, is a remarkable achievement from both a literary and personal perspective.
		One cannot help but be captivated by this book, as I was, after learning that the author is a quadriplegic who writes by tapping key by key with a stick attached to his forehead.
		Nolan captures the beauty and intimacy of their simple bond not by sweeping statements about the depth of their feelings, but rather by describing in detail the daily routines they share together.

	Insomnia, directed by Christopher Nolan Once again, independent of what? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Nolan made a point of describing himself as a “responsible filmmaker” who “personally despise[s] the fact that this industry has become so obsessed with the horse race at the box office” because “...people need to go to the movies, so they’ll go to see [a film] even if it’s crap.
		Although Nolan has Dormer wrestle with the morality of police misconduct, the arguments against the latter are formal and weak.
		Nolan and others create works that are disturbingly devoid of critique and protest, and disturbingly saturated with a complacent and submissive attitude toward both society and the film industry—“the whole big machine,” as Nolan himself puts it.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Memento at Epinions.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		What makes Memento a truly memorable thriller is how director Christopher Nolan has managed to take a fairly conventional premise (a man with nothing to lose who wants to avenge the murder of his loss one), but completely fragment it so that it becomes a wholly innovative and involving film.
		More often or not, Nolan’s intentions are to trick and confuse the audience by showing ambiguous moments and leaving us with unanswered questions throughout the movie.
		Christopher Nolan cleverly allows the audience to become intellectually engaged in this movie’s content.

	Gothic Oedipus: Subjectivity and Capitalism in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins
		Nolan's revisiting of Batman is not a re-invention but a reclaiming of the myth, a grand syncresis that draws upon the whole history of the character.
		Nolan's rendering of Batman's primal scene is significantly different, in that it takes place outside the family home, beyond the realm of the Oedipal, in a cave in the capacious grounds of Wayne Manor, and not with a single bat but with a whole (Deleuzian) pack.

		Nolan, whose disability requires that someone cup his chin while he pushes a head-mounted pointed at the keyboard, tells here of battles in an un-handicapped world, the heroic efforts of his family and the sights of Ireland that surround him." — Amazon.com
		Born with a rare progressive muscular disease (spinal muscular atrophy), the author recounts the challenges of growing up as one of two siblings with the disability, her early adulthood and growing political activism, her relationship with Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic, her lesbianism, and her work as a disability rights activist.
		A memoir of Hockenberry's experiences as a war correspondent for NPR in Iraq, Somalia, and the Middle East, this book is well-written and displays his wry sense of humor, as well as his determination to succeed as a journalist.

		The "gimmick" is the non-linear progression of the story that Christopher Nolan uses in both of the scripts in this book, "Memento" and "Following." It's an experimental style of storytelling, to be certain, but it's a successful experiment.
		Another cool feature of this book is that it includes an interview with Christopher Nolan and one of the stars from "Following." It also includes some photos from both movies and how the idea for "Memento" came about.
		Christopher Nolan has a talent when it comes to forcing characters to face severe consequences and ugly truths, as well as coming up with great dialogue that can only be created by a pro.

		Chris Nolan: My approach with actors is to try and give them whatever it is they need from me. Direction to me is about listening and responding and realizing how much they need to know from me and how much they have figured out for themselves, really.
		Chris Nolan: Yes, to a certain extent, but he was also very specific in what he wanted to do and he drew from a lot of certain influences that I agreed with in terms of the graphic novels.
