Warner, Harry, 1922-2003

Harry Warner (1922-2003) is an author about whom limited public information is available; details of his life, such as nationality, education and career, remain unrecorded. Judging from the three works held in the collection—Rattle OK, But the Patient Lived and Cancer World—his writing touches on themes close to real life, including medicine, illness and everyday circumstances. The titles carry a certain sense of suspense and narrative tension, suggesting a concern with human nature and the conditions of survival. Since verifiable information is scarce, a full assessment of his style and literary standing is difficult, and readers can only approach his narrative orientation through these works themselves.
