This is what the author says about how she got the idea of this book:
"One night I'm sitting there flipping around and on one channel there's a group of
young people competing for, I don't know, money, maybe? And on the next there's
a group of young people fighting an actual war. And I was tired, and the lines
began to blur in this very unsettling way, and I thought of this story.”
When asked if it was always planned as a series (or the idea came after
the first book), she replied that while at the end of the first book, she
realized that the actions of the protagonist would have repercussions,
thus the story wasn't complete.

disguise and a pair of lovers.

According to the property master - the director of the movie had this old

thing that would not actually spin. So he had to completely redesign it.
He got a bunch of other similar items and spun them to see which one
looked best and worked best. And from these, he selected one and after
some touch ups when he looked at it, he knew that it was the one.
This prop is a really important part of the movie, and has the potential to
change the whole understanding of the plot for the viewer.

When the set decorator saw the design for this prop,
he knew it would become the symbol for the whole
not so L.A.M.E.
series.
There were several hurdles in actually making it work.
The crew tried some special effects with flashlights but
it wasn’t good enough. Somehow they just couldn’t get
the handle right. Then one day while buying camera
equipment, out of desperation they asked the store
manager for something they could use as a handle. He
pointed them to some boxes and the very first box that
they opened had these camera handles as shown on
the right. They put some rubber around it and this was
it.

Although a lot his known of his work but not much about his personal life. Sir SC
Roberts who wrote a book on him, concludes this after going through the textual
not so L.A.M.E.
sources-
He was born in 1854 of an English father and French mother descended from a line of
French painters. He seems to have been something of an aesthete at university,
probably Oxford but certainly not Cambridge. On coming down from the university he
took rooms near the British museum to study those sciences relevant to his subsequent
career. In 1881, in a lab at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, he met his subsequent lifelong
friend with whom he later decided to share room. He refused a knighthood, but
accepted Légion d'honneur. He retired to Sussex, kept bees, but of his life after 1914,
there exists no record.

This genre of music is a fairly new phenomenon but has been in practice since
Middle Ages (5th to 15th century), a time of plague and civil unrest mirroring

our own right now.
It was popularised by a Youtuber in 2020 lockdown. This style of music

involves recreating modern classics using medieval instruments such as flutes,
bagpipe, lutes, harps, fiddles, etc.
The name of this genre is taken from the medieval word for people who are
employed by patrons to compose and sing poems and stories. In the modern
period the word is better understood as a title given to a professional writer.

This event is often cited as one of the most heated and significant events in
Post-War English literature. To this day, the author receives threat letters on a

certain date each year. His book pitted religious ideology against the western
values of freedom of expression. Initially the publishers warned that the book may
incite a little controversy but the actual backlash was huge. The author himself
admitted that he expected a few people to call him names but he never imagined it
would blow up like this. There were book burnings, offices were ransacked, then
there were bombings and even murders. At one point the author had to change his
residence every 3 days to avoid getting killed.
In 2012 the author expressed his doubt about getting the book published in the
current time due to an atmosphere of panic and agitation.

operation in 1991. It was famous for its role as the most successful oppositional tabloid

to the military regime in Brazil. Even though it is not published now, it is still considered
the alternative newspaper of most longevity in Brazil. After police invaded its
headquarters in 1970 arresting almost all its journalists, it became a symbol of resistance
of civil society before the authoritarianism of the state.
In the Brazilian version of a popular series, a tabloid has been given this name. In the
series, the tabloid's best selling edition was the one in which the interview of the
protagonist is published at a time when the state media portrayed the protagonist as a
liar.
