I was very saddened by the news of his suicide this week. I can only hope that more people will take the time to read some of his wonderful prose in the wake of his death.
Harper's: In Memoriam
Rex's roundup over at Fimoculous.
I'm a 40 year old suburban Dad with eclectic music taste.
hadn't heard of him before , , , thoroughly enjoyed what i read of an artical he wrote for Harpers. Language, esp english and is misuse is a special discussion topic I have with Ben and Timira, my 2 oldest. I sent them the article and they had a great time reading it together while taking turns driving on the way to Seattle. Sad news, but thanks for the recommendation. What works of his do you especially like? (note new email address)
