Lewis "Iso" Ender (November 26, 1835 – December 17, 1871) was a Canadian author and poet, well known for his short parable Behind the Rugged Tramp (1858), anti-war novel A Bugle's Echo (1864) and short surreal action thriller story Logic not Included (1892).
Life and Career
Ender was born in Kingston, Ontario, November 26, 1835, to Frank Ender, a Canadian-born ice harvester and trader, and Louise (Anna) Zapper, an Italian fabric seller who migrated from Italy to Canada with her family at the age of 3. Ender began to show his interest in writing at the age of six when he began going to his local school. At the age of 12, his family moved from Kingston to McKeesport, Pennsylvania.
He didn't publish any work until 1851, where he published his first book, Meanings from My Soul, which didn't receive much of a positive response, then his second published story Behind the Rugged Tramp (1858), which has become one of two of Ender's most memorable works.[citation needed] In 1862 Ender moved to Dallas, Texas to continue his writing. Between 1862 and 1864, Ender wrote and published the trilogy Your Meanings Volume 1 (1862), Your Meanings Volume 2 (1863) and Your Meanings Volume 3 (1864) containing multiple short stories and poems. The first book did receive a negative response from critics, but the other two did obtain moderate reviews. The American Civil War is known to be Ender's strongest inspiration for his sixth book A Bugle's Echo (1864) which received commercial success along with Behind the Rugged Tramp. In 1866 Ender published his seventh book titled The Lost Souls. The book received mixed reviews when it was released due to its obscure and dark plot for its time. Three years after his seventh publication, Ender released his eighth book What Makes the World? which contains ten short stories relating to a certain value, which were written between 1858 and 1869. The book did receive positive reviews from critics.
Death
Ender died at 7:00 in the morning on December 14, 1871, from cerebral inflammation in Dallas, Texas. A year after his death, an unpublished book (written by Ender) titled Beyond the Fence was found in his home, including many other pieces of Ender's unpublished writing. That same year, Beyond the Fence was published, to pay respect to Ender. The book did receive positive reviews, but not as much as Behind the Rugged Tramp nor A Bugle's Echo. Even after Ender's death, many of his work continued to be published until 1892, with his final published piece being a short surreal action thriller story called Logic not Included which was believed to be inspired by dreams Ender experienced due to several of his journal entries mentioning dreams similar to those featured in Logic not Included. The story obtained critical acclaim from many critics, making it the third piece of writing from Ender to receive commercial success and also sparked a cult following.
