In Memoriam: Thomas M. Disch

Thomas M. Disch committed suicide on July 4. I didn't know him, and I hadn't read much by him since the 1960s, maybe '70s, except a novella that I read and reviewed recently for GMR which was impressive as hell. One of his books is sitting in the ever-growing "to read" pile.

Here's more information from Ellen Datlow and Cory Doctorow.
