MICHAEL CRICHTON (1942-2008)

I've just learned on tv the news of the death of my favorite novelist, Michael Crichton. He was 66.

Author of The Andromeda Strain, Rising Sun, Jurassic Park, or Disclosure, amongst many masterpieces of modern litterature, he doubled as a talented film director during the 70s and 80s with great movies like Westworld or Looker.

He was a brilliant mind and a visionary. To be deprived in the future of the pleasure to read "the latest Michael Crichton" is really a very sad perspective.
