Thanks for sharing this loving memorial, Richard. I remember some correspondence during the Dove years about publishing an audiobook of one of his novels. The project didn't go through, I think because of potential conflict with a film deal, but Dan and I kept up steady social media contact for years afterwards. Amazing writer, and a fine man.
Richard, I never would have found your wonderful writing had I not inquired to the rights of Carrion Comfort. RIP to a titan of literary imagination and style.
Sorry to hear your news. Can’t beat a single malt whiskey and a chat.
I enjoyed the chat more than the whiskey! :-(
Dear Richard,
I am very sorry for your loss. I am glad you have wonderful memories.
Now I will read Dan’s books.
Warmly,
Carola
Thank you. You will be rewarded many times over.
Sad news. My condolences. I just re-read Hyperion a couple months ago. Still one of the greatest works among great works.
Thanks, Owen. What a thrill to live long enough to see your novel become a classic!

Any author would be proud to have those six words chiseled on their tombstone.

Thanks for this tribute to Dan, and lovely compliment to yours very truly.
Loved CARRION COMFORT. Tragic loss.
My condolences. THE TERROR is a masterpiece.
Yes, I still dream about it.
Sorry to hear that. I may always remember a scene in Phases of Gravity that was hilariously brilliant.
A lovely remembrance, Richard.
