	My Movie Business
		But in both the novel and the screenplay, what precipitates Homerís return to the orphanage, where he replaces Dr. Larch as the obstetrician and the abortionist in St. Cloudís, is his discovery of the relationship between a black migrant apple picker and his daughter.
		Larchís ether addiction is developed in both the book and the film, but his sexual abstemiousness, a feature of his eccentricity in the novel, was never in any draft of the script; instead, in the movie, I strongly imply that Dr. Larch may have had (or still has) a sexual relationship with Nurse Angela.
		All the time Homer Wells is away from St. Cloudís, the aging and ether-addicted Dr. Larch has been plotting how Homer can replace him; in the end of both the novel and the film, Homer accepts the responsibility Larch has left to him.

	Island of Dr. Moreau
		Although this year's Island of Dr. Moreau doesn't reverentially follow the novel, it is much closer than the prior two films, particularly than the 1977 Burt Lancaster fiasco.
		The Island of Dr. Moreau is Hollywood's third attempt at framing H. Wells' novel, and they have yet to get it right.
		The 1933 Island of Lost Souls, although the best of the three, eliminated the subtleties of the novel and played it purely as a monster bash.

	Amazon.co.uk: Doctor Jekyll And Mr Hyde [1932]: DVD
		Adaptations of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel 'Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde' in which a doctor discovers a dangerous potion.
		Both films have a very similar story line, closer to the stage version of the novel rather than the novel itself, adding love interests to both Jekyll and Hyde.
		Mr Hides carryings on with his female victim are suprisingly strong and leave you in no doult that he is about to ravish her.

	Encyclopedia: Dr. Zhivago
		Doctor Zhivago ( Доктор Живаго) is a story of a man torn between two women, set against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution, best known from the 1965 epic film adapted by Robert Bolt from the original novel by Boris Pasternak.

		The book was finally published in Russian in 1988, ironically in the pages of Novyi mir.

	Boston Review:
		Sebald has said that his "medium is prose, not the novel," which seems exactly right; what he is producing is not history, and certainly not a historical novel, but what he calls "a metaphor or allegory of a collective historical" event.
		This is because what Mme Landau calls "the whole wretched sequence of events" is, in Sebald's view, not clearly sequential, or cannot be grasped that way.
		Sebald speaks to that sense of isolation and obsession; he has recorded the lethal quality of remembering and forgetting, and the impossibility of both.

		Eon felt Dr. No needed his own atomic reactor, as the possibilities inherent in nuclear power were just being explored in the early 1960's.
		No novel in 1957, and used a number of the same characters, though Bond was Americanized and his name changed to Gunn.
		That's because Dent, obeying the character pattern we've come to know and love, is working for Dr. No.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Doctor Bloom's Story
		It is initially intellectual, sparked by a discussion of Strindberg, but soon becomes a matter of Sophie's well-being, for Dr. Bloom soon begins to suspect that she is being viciously beaten by her husband, the absurdly named and thoroughly villainous Rollo Maggione.
		It's not a "poet's novel" either, for it's short on amorphous imagery and impressionistic murk.
		It is clear, though, that its carefully wrought and thoroughly achieved language came from the pen of a poet--and a good one at that (fans of this novel should check out Coles's verse, especially the Trillium Prize-winning Kurgan).

	The Hindu : A novel gene mutation triggering pancreatitis
		Now that the gene has been identified it would be possible to screen patients with different types of pancreatitis and treat them at early stages with medicine and endoscope so that the course of the disease could be modified and arrested, Dr.Reddy and Dr. Chandak explained.
		"For the first time probably, a novel gene mutation has been found as a cause of gastrointestinal disease in our country".
		The Asian Institute of Gastroenterology and the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) on Saturday announced the discovery of a new gene mutation, SPINK 1, associated with chronic tropical pancreatitis, a disease predominant in the South.

	amfAR ABOUT AMFAR
		I had written a novel called Faggots, which was an exploration of the gay life we were all leading and I, too, was interested in everything that was happening to us, culturally, sociologically, medically, whatever.
		Lawrence Mass, a close friend of mine, wrote a health column for a now-defunct gay newspaper called the New York Native, and in the early part of 1981, he was the first to begin writing about strange maladies that were appearing out of nowhere.
		So in July, when the first article appeared in The New York Times, saying that Dr. Alvin Friedman-Kien and Dr. Linda Laubenstein at New York University were reporting 41 cases of severe disease among gay men, Larry Mass encouraged me to investigate.

	Novel Targets, Novel Mechanisms for Antidepressants
		Several therapeutic agents aimed at novel targets in the brain are visible on the far horizon for the treatment of depression, including one drug with an infamous history in a much different application.
		This difference helps to explain why novel antidepressants are hard to develop, since our understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease remains limited, according to Dr. Krishnan.
		A review of the promising but “too-soon-to-call” formative periods of these new agents illustrates just how much antidepressant drug development is not only subject to trial and error but fraught with chance and dependent on the instincts of investigators.

	Amazon.com: Books: Doctor Zhivago (Everyman's Library (Cloth))
		The movie is beautiful but strangely inert, has a somewhat disjointed narrative and conveys no clear philosophical message--flaws which I always assumed were a function of the difficulty of converting a Russian novel to film and the inexplicable casting of two really awful actors (Omar Sharif and Julie Christie) in the lead roles.
		Doctor Zhivago is very complex and works on many levels, just as a great novel should.
		Zhivago is an important book, but not a great book.

	United Press International: BBC 'Cambridge Spies,' PBS 'Dr. Zhivago'
		"Dr. Zhivago," a two-part, four-hour version of Boris Pasternak's novel that begins Nov. 2 on PBS, is of course primarily a hauntingly sad and romantic love story...
		Back to "Dr. Zhivago," which most people remember from the 1965 David Lean film rather than the 1957 novel- for which Pasternak won the Nobel Prize but was forced by the Soviets to refuse.
		The PBS "Zhivago" may lack impressive crowd scenes and panoramic shots of trains crossing snowy steppes, but it also lacks (thankfully) the miscast Omar Sharif.

		But the small circle of literati in Pearl's inventive novel is bent on translating and publishing Dante's Divine Comedy so that all Americans may learn of the writer's genius.
		Mattew Pearl's recent novel, the Dante Club, combines history, suspense, and mystery in a truly unique reading experience.
		Famous, well known characters such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Dr Oliver Windell-Holmes and James Russell Lowe are intricately woven into a plot which develops around their translation of Dante's Divine Comedy.

		Joan spoke on the topic From Boys to Men...to Boys: the Male Lovers in Austen's Novels, in which she separated Jane's men from her boys by assessing Austen's heroes in the context of the stages of moral development defined by Dr. Lawrence Kohlberg.
		For example, one perspective focused on the idea of Mrs Elton as a caricature of Emma's worst qualities, undiluted and concentrated, whose exorcism is symbolized by her exclusion from Emma's wedding at the end of the novel.
		She described the relationship between plot, character and weather in the novel, and speculated on whether Jane Austen might have met and been influenced by Luke Howard, the writer of a founding text on meteorology, who visited Alton in July 1813.

	Robert Freeman Wexler Circus of the Grand Design Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		One of the great pleasures of any circus novel is the cast of characters who comprise the show, and this novel is no exception.
		Circus novels have a special place in the history of speculative literature.
		From Charles G. Finney's 'The Circus of Dr. Lao' to Ray Bradbury's 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' to Edward R. Whittemore's 'Quin's Shanghai Circus', the big top has exercised an understandable attraction to writers of the weird and the macabre.
