Learn moreThe Amputee’s Guide to Jules Verne is a reader’s guide to every novel Verne wrote; in that respect alone, there is no other book like it on the market. But it’s more than that. Nick DiMartino has included several essays evaluating Verne’s overall approach as a writer and the values embodied in his work. He has included as well a number of deeply personal essays about his struggles with the loneliness, pain, and lack of mobility that came with being an amputee. It isn’t a gloomy story, though. It’s a celebration—of Verne, of his translators, of the kindness of others, and of life itself.
Nick DiMartino is the author of over twenty novels, including Christmas Ghost Story, University Ghost Story, and Seattle Ghost Story. He’s written over twenty plays for full production, including Dracula, The Snow Queen, and Pinocchio for Seattle Children’s Theater, Ozma of Oz for the Bellevue Children’s Theatre, Frankenstein for the Honolulu Theater for Youth, Aladdin and Snow White for the Pittsburgh Playhouse, and Babes in Toyland for the Village Theater in Issaquah. He was the campus bookseller for University Book Store in Seattle for fifty years.
