Invite Hannibal Lecter into the palace of your mind and be invited into his mind palace in turn. Note the similarities in yours and his, the high vaulted chambers of your dreams, the shadowed halls, the locked storerooms where you dare not go, the scrap of halfforgotten music, the muffled cries from behind a wall. In one of the most eagerly anticipated literary events of the decade, Thomas Harris takes us once again into the mind of Dr Lecter. STORY: Seven years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter es-caped from custody, seven years since FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling interviewed him in a maximum security hospital for the cri-minally insane. The doctor is still at large, pursuing his own inef-fable interests, savoring the scents, the essences of an unguar-ded world. But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr Lecter, and the metallic rasp of his seldom-used voice still sounds in her dreams. Mason Verger remembers Dr Lecter, too, and is obsessed with revenge. He was Dr Lecter's sixth victim, and he has survived to rule his own butcher's empire. From his respirator, Verger monitors every twitch in his worldwide web. Soon he sees that to draw the doctor, he must have the most exquisite and inno-cent-appearing bait; he must have what Dr Lecter likes best. THOMAS HARRIS The man behind both films, featuring Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter as the main character is none other than the writer Thomas Harris. Even though Ted Tally got an Oscar for 'Best Screenplay Adaption', this is the man who made it happen. Below you will find more info. BIOGRAPHY: He was born in Jackson, Tennessee, in 1940, but at a very young age, his family moved to his father's hometown of Rich, Mississippi, so his father could become a farmer. He lived and attended school there until he left for Baylor University in Waco, Texas. While pursuing an English major by day and wor-king as a reporter at the News-Tribune by night, he met and mar-ried a fellow student named Harriet. They had one daughter, An-ne, before they divorced in the 1960s. Harris began to pursue his writing career at this point, sending macabre stories to magazines like True and Argosy. According to friends, these stories exhibited many typical Harris trademarks, most notably his incredible atten-tion to detail. When he graduated in 1964, he spent a brief period of time traveling through Europe before he began a job working for the Associated Press in New York, where he was a general-assignment reporter from 1968 to 1974. It was this job that would give him valuable insights into the world of crime, which he cover-ed daily. It also led to the writing of his first novel.
