ROBERT 1P1N Library News Triumph Of Spirit Told In iEric'' By Frances Edwards Eric, by Doris Lung, (S7.95,) might be considered a triumph of spirit over matter, of life over death. "Come take me if you can," said Eric at seventeen after being told that acute lukemia would allow him from six months to two years of life. He was waiting for summer vacation to end so he could enter the University of Connecticut!. He jumped into four years of life, a cram course in living, while working towards a degree and making the soccer team. He missed college that first year but when drugs brought him through the first period of remission, he began an incredible training schedule which included running 20 miles a day... and a last New Year's Eve party with his friends. Mrs. l.unj) tells her son's story with love and admiration but without sentimentality. There were anger and sorrow as Eric chipped at parental ties to meet life in his own way. laughing irreverently at pompous authority, playing soccer while filled with antileukemic drugs. Successive remissions were achieved by more exhausting and dangerous drugs. With each remission. Lund resumed his 10 - 20 miles a day run to rebuild weight and stamina. By his junior year l.und was a soccer star, captain ? elect for next season, and a potential All - American in the opinion of sports writers unaware of his illnesS, During his illness, Eric was in and out of the Ewing Eight ward of the Sloan ? Kettering Memorial Cancer Center in . Manhattan. His friends there included an old woman with no larynx, a boy with no jaw, a man whose flesh had wasted away, and a couple his own age. His vitality was a rallying force for them; he laughed at cancer by drawing Bookmobile Schedule Dundarrach, Jan. 7 Mrs. Eva Conoly, Mrs. Myrtle Sappinfield, Mrs. G.C. Lyttle. Mrs. lna Mae Womack.

Yes, he had a too - short love affair with a beautiful nurse. Some one said, "when 1 began Eric,l hid one idea about death and dying: when I finished Eric I had another." Eric is a success both in the impact on its readers and the activity stimulated by subsidiary rights. Portions were published in "Good Housekeeping" and picked up by "Reader's Digest." Dell has required reprint lights with a guarantee of $3.26,000 to Uppincott, Lorimar Productions has optioned it tor TV;'Book - of - the ? Month Club. Psychology Today Book Club, Nurse's Book Society and Reader's Digest Condensed Books have bought rights: Flammarion has contracted for French translation rights, and maga/inc serial rights have been sought in Japan. One of Mrs. Lund's reactions is impatience with people who treat cancer as though it were leprosy, too frightful tp face or talk about. She also feels a sense of frustration at misplaced national priorities that channel money to military ends instead of using it to enhance life. Eric is a book of courage and dignity of both mother and son. Other recent books portraying similar greatness of spirit include: "Blood of the Lamb," by Peter De Vries who wrote obliquely about his daughter's leukemia. Stewart Alsop's "Stay of Execution" is about his struggle with the disease. Football player Brian . PicoloVdeath was a fond memoir by his friend Gale Sayers; later it became a TV filnt.
