Dead in a carcrash. Friday. One of the finest writers of our times. He left behind two unfinished books. He will be greatly missed.

A fantastic writer, and probably the most lugubrious reader I've ever seen. And he knew it, dagnamit. What are the two unfinished books? I know that the early prose poem and the book on the Dresden bombing are due in English next year.

Curiously enough, posted this yesterday on the Caretaker/VVM thread:

Finally watched (and enjoyed) Gee's Patience (After Sebald). Would have enjoyed it less without The Caretaker's soundtrack.
