In 1993, Lowry received the honor a second time for The Giver, which would eventually become a 2014 film, and it is about this specific book we are talking about today. Welcome, Mrs. Lowry. It is an honor to have you here today. Q1: You mentioned in several interviews that your inspiration to the development of the dystopia “The Giver” came from your experience with your father’s Alzheimer’s disease. com/writer/lois-lowry Book : The Giver (1993) INTERVIEW R: We are having a very special guest today, known to many for the writing of the bestselling novel The Giver, published in 1993. Louis Lowry – born Louis Ann Hammensberg – was born on March 20, 1937, in Honolulu, Hawaii. She published her first novel, A Summer to Die, in 1977.

After this serious drama, Lowry showed her lighter side with 1979's Anastasia Krupnik, which became the first in a series of humorous books. She won her first Newbery Award for the 1989 novel Number the Stars. R: Yes, absolutely. To begin with, I would like to introduce the subject of your inspiration to the book’s main ideas. You mentioned in several interviews that your inspiration to the development of the dystopia “The Giver” came from your experience with your father’s Alzheimer’s disease. How did that merge in order to create the society portrayed in the book? LL: Well, my father’s disease made me observe the importance of memory (as well as its loss) from a very close distance. The more the disease progressed, the more he decayed physically, but interestingly I observed that he became happier.

R: Do you believe it is a fair trade: no memories in exchange for a more peaceful and equal society? Would you be willing to do that? LL: Well, that depends on what type of society we want to be. I would never give up on my memories, even though some are very painful. However, I see people giving up their liberty, their freedom by letting go of their privacy in exchange for entertainment. That makes me feel astonished. People want to have all these contemporary benefits by giving away their uniqueness. LL: The pleasure was mine. R: Louis Lowry, ladies and gentlemen! See you next week.
