Life

Peter Marshall was born in 1939.[1] At 18 years old he became infected with polio, which left him almost completely paralyzed. He wrote an autobiography (Two Lives) about his life before and after the illness, for which he received the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize in 1963.[2][3] He wrote two novels, The Raging Moon (1964) and Excluded from the Cemetery (1966). The movie The Raging Moon was based on his novel by the same title. He lived and worked in a home in Surrey. He died at age 33 in 1972.[4]

gollark: ```Instead of the programs I had hoped for, there came only a shuddering blackness and ineffable loneliness; and I saw at last a fearful truth which no one had ever dared to breathe before — the unwhisperable secret of secrets — The fact that this language of stone and stridor is not a sentient perpetuation of Rust as London is of Old London and Paris of Old Paris, but that it is in fact quite unsafe, its sprawling body imperfectly embalmed and infested with queer animate things which have nothing to do with it as it was in compilation.```
