Episode 4: The Price We Pay for Love
Clive wrote about faraway places he never visited. He created magical worlds seen through children’s eyes though he was a middle-aged college professor. He wrote a bestselling book on love even though he had never experienced romance. In short, Clive was the world’s foremost expert on things he had never experienced. Then Clive’s life was turned upside down by a visiting author from America. Joy would give him the greatest happiness in his life, only to leave him to cope with unbearable grief. Three years after cancer stole his beloved Joy, he collapsed in his bedroom and died. The world hardly noticed the passing of this author because a young American president was assassinated in Dallas on the same day. But fifty-four years later, he is remembered as a towering giant who changed the landscape of literature.
