What a shame, not very old, and his novels come up all the time--
House of Stairs is continually asked for on forums I frequent for identifying books where title and author is not remembered.

I remember ordering
House of Stairs from the scholastic book club in grade school. One of the few memorable novels.

RichardActor Cliff Robertson has passed away at age 88. While he had a long and distinguished career, he will probably best be remembered for his Oscar-winning performance in CHARLY, the 1968 film adaptation of Daniel Keyes' wonderful novel, FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON.

fjp451I taught Flowers for Algernon many times in Lit and SF classes. It is an eerie narration of things to come. Mr. Robertson captured the character of protagonist Charlie Gordon and made the movie a special learning experience for all who viewed his performance.
Peace!

He was handpicked by President Kennedy to play him in
PT 109, and a real Kennedy passes away right after a cinema one:

I met Kara Kennedy on two different occasions many years ago and she was a sweet girl.
