Christopher Nolan is an Irish author. He moved to Dublin for an education.He was educated at the Central Remedial Clinic School, Mount Temple Comprehensive School and at Trinity College, Dublin. He was born with cerebral palsy, from birth complications, and writes using a special computer. His mother, Bernadette Nolan holds his head in her hands as Christopher painstakingly picks out each word, letter by letter. He communicates with Bernadette, his father Joe and sister Yvonne and close friends - mostly using his eyes as a signal system.
His works to date are:
*Dam Burst of Dreams (1981, when Nolan was 15 years old) a critically acclaimed collection of poetry that has been compared to the work of illustrious compatriots William Butler Yeats and James Joyce.
*Under the Eye of the Clock (1987) won the Whitbread Award. An autobiography told as a third-person biography, detailing his struggle with his disability, among other things.
Torchlight And Lazer Beams - (1988) A play written with Theatre Director Michael Scott - Dublin Theatre Festival - Gaiety Theatre, Dublin A stage version of Under the Eye of the Clock incorporating unpublished poetry Christopher has also written.
*The Banyan Tree (1999) a novel.
Rock band U2, who attended school with Nolan, wrote their song "Miracle Drug" (from How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb) about him. [http://www.artscouncil.ie/aosdana/biogs/literature/christophernolan.html]
