Man, this is so sad. Huge loss for American literature.

Odd timing that I picked up a more recent book of his from the library just last week. The Messenger. It's really cool so far.

RIP

Ugh. This one hurt. I know he was 89, and I feel so lucky he got his last two out and get to read them (still haven’t read Stella Maris but The Passenger was a lot of mysterious fun, reminded me a bit a Pulp, contextually speaking)
