" Her manager says she died of natural causes No word on details Actress Isabel Sanford Dies Jul 12, 11:37 AM EST Actress Isabel Sanford has died at a Los Angeles hospital Earlier this year, Sanford was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Sanford was best known for playing Louise "Weezie" Jefferson on the long-running sitcom "The Jeffersons "I don't know Scliar as a writer or as a person, so I have no reason to offend him," he said In an essay published on the Web site of the bookstore Powell's City of Books, Martel recalls once reading a lukewarm review of "Max and the Cats" and, based on the review, being dismayed by the possibility that "a brilliant premise" might have been "ruined by a lesser writer Martel last month won the $78,000 Booker Prize, Britain's most prestigious book award, for "Life of Pi," the story of an Indian teen-ager who ends up in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger after the ship taking him to Canada sinks "I don't think it's precisely a lack of respect " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Associated Press writer Peter Muello in Rio de Janeiro contributed to this report " Confusion has arisen about some strands of the story behind Martel's book Yet the 39-year-old Martel has found himself entangled in controversy over the inspiration he drew from a novella published some two decades ago by one of Brazil's most respected authors, Moacyr Scliar He said he did not contact Scliar before starting "Life of Pi" four years ago "Is an idea copyrightable? That's certainly not my feeling," Martel said While Martel says his book is about "religion, faith and imagination," Scliar's is considered a metaphor for Nazism and Brazil's 1964-85 military dictatorship But it's unfortunate that now, when Brazilian literature is being abundantly mentioned abroad, it's because of this bizarre incident " Scliar's book was published in Portuguese in Brazil in 1981 and an English translation was published in 1990 "I've received dozens of e-mails from people offering their solidarity, people whose Brazilian pride was offended," he said " In the essay, Martel also says he recalls reading the review in the New York Times Book Review and that it was by American writer John Updike Martel also said he's willing to explicitly credit Scliar in a Brazilian edition of "Life of Pi," for which he is seeking a publisher "But I am not going to make this a crusade "I am not litigious, but I'm not the only owner of the book Writer Under Fire for Book Idea Nov 7, 1:18 AM EST BERLIN (AP) â€â€? Yann Martel, a Canadian writer riding his first big success, freely credits another author with the idea behind his Booker Prize-winning novel â€â€? the tale of a shipwrecked boy trapped in a boat with a wild feline " Scliar disagrees, saying he considers his idea "intellectual property" and that his publishers are weighing legal action "I think once he reads the story, he'll say it's a very different kettle of fish "I don't feel I've done something dishonest " The Canadian, the much-traveled son of diplomat parents, pointed to an age-old tradition of writers who draw inspiration from works of others â€â€? though he acknowledged it's trickier when the other one is still alive "I saw a premise that I liked and I told my own story with it," Martel told The Associated Press on Wednesday in Berlin, where he is teaching a five-month university course on animals in literature Scliar said he was hurt not only by Martel's comments about his work, but because he felt Brazilian culture was being slighted Now, he said he has written to Scliar's publisher, Companhia das Letras, saying he has not meant to belittle the Brazilian author But the New York Times reported Wednesday that its book review never wrote about Scliar's book, and it quoted Updike as saying he never reviewed it "What would be wrong is if I said it was my idea " On Wednesday, Martel insisted no slight was intended and that his comment was misrepresented by Brazilian media I consider Brazilian literature to be of the first magnitude, and I would like our culture to be judged on its own merits My publishers are consulting their lawyers and examining legal options," Scliar told AP by telephone Wednesday from his home in Porto Alegre, Brazil Martel said he reads so many book reviews that he must have mixed something up Martel makes a nod to Scliar's influence at the start of his book, saying the Brazilian gave it "the spark of life Scliar's book "Max and the Cats," which Martel says he read about in a review years before starting his book but never read himself, tells of a Jewish teen-age boy who survives a shipwreck but has to share his lifeboat with a jaguar A comment by Martel that the Canadian says was misconstrued by some Brazilian media as a slight against Scliar hasn't helped |
