		The PBS show had been based on Russ Rymer’s book “Genie: An Abused Child’s Flight From Silence.” There are times in a reader’s life when he or she encounters a character so compelling that the urge to come closer, to inhabit the world of the character, is overwhelming.
		But Rymer’s book is not so much about the horrors of abuse as it is about the “forbidden experiment,” the millennia-old question of the origin of language, i.e.
		Rymer details the extraordinary moment in the study of this question during which Genie seemed to drop, as though out of the blue Southern California sky, into the midst of a revolution in the study of the language question.

		Russ Rymer first came to the writing life as a teenager, when, as a copy boy for the Atlanta Journal, he was occasionally pressganged into reporting stories that broke during the graveyard shift.
		Rymer has lectured on topics in creative non-fiction and journalism ethics to classes and forums at a number of colleges, including Columbia University, University of North Florida, University of Southern California, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University, and Sciences Po Paris.
		When not writing or editing, Rymer spends his time practicing for his future performance career on the cello, an instrument he took up at the tender age of 47 and on which he is considered an advanced prodigy, if only in years.

	Amazon.ca: Genie: A Scientific Tragedy: Books: Russ Rymer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Rymer suggests that scientists and caretakers treated Genie as a "wild child" instead of giving her supportive therapy that might have enabled her to overcome the confining horrors of her childhood.
		Rymer here presents a fascinating look at a child's abuse and the failure of the scientific community to help her achieve some normalcy.
		Rymer's narrative voice is kind and full of compassion for Genie, and although the book is written in a typical third person academic style, sometimes I felt that the narrator was the only one on Genie's side.

		Rymer comes to Mother Jones from Portland Monthly, where he was executive editor.
		Rymer takes the reins of Mother Jones at a time when the publication’s circulation has climbed from 130,000 in 1998 to 240,000 this year.
		Rymer is particularly annoyed by pitches that are “just thrown out there scattershot,” rather than sent to a particular magazine.

	Russ Rymer. Genie: a Scientific Tragedy ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Rymer describes his process of writing the book, and how he, the scientists he interviewed, and most everyone who tried to "understand" Genie, all ended up understanding themselves in some humbling or transformative way.
		It's a fascinating story (see the other reviews), but Rymer's real achievement here is rendering what could have been dry scientific data interspersed with horrific tales of abuse into a book that at no time exploits its subject for cheap sentimentality.
		We care about "Genie" because her shot at normal life was twice aborted, not because Rymer simply wants us to.

	Orlando Weekly
		Russ Rymer called his new book "American Beach." But its subtitle -- "A Saga of Race, Wealth, and Memory" -- cuts to the heart of the dilemma that the book traces, and sharpens the distinctions it draws between Disney’s Celebration and Eatonville.
		Rymer’s focus expanded as he became aware of "hidden fl American history, especially of the successful entrepreneurial fl middle class," he says.
		Rymer spells out the reasons: Hurston was not only from Eatonville, she also made her name after going to New York by writing about her hometown.

		Lewis was a member of what Rymer, borrowing from Jacksonville's famous native James Weldon Johnson, calls "the invisible class." These elites were few but disproportionately influential, particularly in the early-20th-century drive for civil equality.
		Rymer finds the pitch of their song, even though it has been nearly "drowned out in a chorus of slave chant and poor man's blues." In a complex layering akin to musical composition, his admirable book radiates outward from Lewis to his elite descendants, to a host of characters throughout the surrounding region.
		But, Rymer astutely argues, it was the collapse in America of "the culture of memory" that encouraged the dissolution of A.L. Lewis' patrimony: his business, his resorts, his mansion and -- most important -- his ethic of service.

		Russ Rymer's upcoming book details the third-world ecological crisis that threatens the performance of Western music, and chronicles the struggle of some of the modern world's last traditional craftsmen, the makers of bows for violins, violas, cellos, and basses, to confront it.
		Discovered in 1970, when she was thirteen, she became a celebrated test case for linguists studying controversial theories of child language aquisition, because she had reached the age of puberty without being spoken to.
		Rymer relates the saga of Genie's dramatic re-emergence into the normal world, and the tragedy that followed, when the scientists she had been living with dropped her back on her mother's doorstep, and she disappeared from sight.

	An ominous Disney Celebration by Seth Rogovoy
		Feeling better having said that, let me say that Russ Rymer's piece, "Back To the Future," in the October Harper's, is one of the scariest things I have read since I picked up Stephen King's "The Dead Zone" about 10 or 15 years ago.
		Rymer's piece is about a town called Celebration in Florida, a made-up, fake place being built by the Walt Disney Company near the Disney World theme park.
		Rymer's article paints a portrait of the Florida development that gives new meaning to the term "company town." The idea of Disney designing and building small American towns from scratch is bad enough, but Rymer's descriptions of the place make my nightmares all the more vivid and horrifying.

		As with many people at the time and since, I have been massively affected by her story, and I wasn't even born when she was rescued.

		And Rymer's experiences are almost as second-hand as mine.

		Says Rymer: "I've driven in a carful of Brazilians down Germany's autobahn and in a carful of Germans up the terrifying two-lane anarchy of the BR-101, Brazil's north-south highway." And, he might add, lived to tell the tale.
		It began for Rymer, who is an amateur cellist himself, when one bow maker after another—meticulous craftsmen of bows for stringed instruments—told him that their livelihood was threatened by the scarcity of Brazil's pernambuco tree.
		His reportorial highlight took place at Vienna's magnificent Konzerthaus, where Rymer was privileged to observe Heinrich Schiff, one of the world's foremost cellists, warming up in a backstage practice room.

		She gave false information to Genie's mother, and was instrumental in a law suit against the Hospital, the psychologists there, Curtiss and others, a suit which was thrown out of court.
		It is interesting that Rymer talks of Ruch's unfailing concern for Genie and her mother but does not state that Ruch never phoned or visited Genie for years while she was in the Rigler home and after she left there.
		The royalties were never offered as a compromise in the lawsuit, as Rymer inaccurately states, since years before,the agreement regarding the trust for Genie had been established.

	Genie Review - Russ Rymer
		Through extensive interviews with the principal players in this drama, Russ Rymer has reconstructed Genie’s personal history and that of the many scientists who became deeply involved in her life.
		Lively and engrossing, GENIE is at once a fascinating piece of investigative journalism, an excellent presentation of important ideas in the field of linguistics, and a serious study of the ethics of human research.
		Rymer’s disturbing tale makes clear, however, that the most significant lessons arising from Genie’s sad history do not finally concern language at all, but an even more fundamental aspect of human nature: our age-old conflict between self-interest and compassion.

		RYMER'S METHOD is as various as its subject-subjects, really-deserve.
		Early on in his book, Rymer states straight-out what is at stake here: "the old undiminished question, the line between money and what money cannot buy." The story of the twenty-first century will be the story of that line, the line between money and value.
