Sydney Brenner: A Biography ReviewThis is a fascinating biography of Sydney Brenner, one of the founders of modern molecular biology. Both Brenner and the author, Errol Friedberg, hail from South Africa, which may explain the strong resonance between the author and subject. The biography quotes liberally from many who know Brenner, but the most remarkable words are Brenner's own. Brenner is a profoundly original thinker and also an exceptional writer. His Nobel speech quoted at the beginning of the book is thoughtful, generous and funny. The biography starts with Brenner's family roots in Eastern Europe, his parents' immigration to South Africa at the turn of the 20th century, and his birth and formative years in Germiston (South Africa) and extends to the launching of Brenner's research career in Cambridge (UK) right up to his present day activities. Brenner's early years in South Africa and his friendship and extensive collaboration with Francis Crick make for the especially interesting reading. The biography is remarkably well researched, well written and easy to read for a layperson. The book gives an interesting perspective into the workings of a great mind and does so with a wry sense of humor no doubt shared by both author and subject.Sydney Brenner: A Biography Overview
