Talk:Camp Concentration

Infobox and picture
I've added an infobox, and uploaded a picture, under what I think is Fair Use. I can't find my copy of the novel right now, so can't credit the illustrator of the front cover. It's a great book, I hope the page is expanded soon by other people who love it! --Tomhannen 13:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Comparison with Flowers for Algernon
I am probably not the man for this job but I do think it is worth adressing. I have read both Camp Concentration, recently, and Flowers for Algernon, many years ago, and have searched and found that Flowers for algernon was published prior to Camp Concentration. Their content is very similar, has anyone else ever noticed this. I honestly like Camp Concentration better, but that is neither here nor there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.235.66.52 (talk) 03:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Not Vietnam
This novel is much closer to the common paranoid theories that AIDs and crack were introduced by the government to destroy Blacks and Gays; or perhaps the real fact that the government gave LSD to unsuspecting soldiers and citizens. It has no connection to the Vietnam War except the book was published and the war was being fought in 1968. Nitpyck (talk) 05:21, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


 * As the Vietnam War was being fought at the time the book was published, what on earth do you think the book was about? HairyWombat (talk) 00:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Added external link to annotation site
I've added an external link to a literary annotation site] that I maintain which has a large section devoted to this novel-- lots of content that's too much like "original research" to add as edits here. I hope that's appropriate, and will certainly understand if someone wants to remove it. &#8592;Hob 01:14, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Tuskegee syphilis experiment
There was "between 1932 and 1972" a "clinical study" about syphilis infection and illness development: Tuskegee syphilis experiment. I don't know, if Thomas M.Disch at any time talked about the source for his story idea. I read about the "possible" connection on the book cover of the German translation. Does anybody here know more? --Ruediger — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.96.224.42 (talk) 05:34, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
