It's now generally known to Friends and others here and elsewhere that Tom Disch died last week, apparently on Independence Day. He had long been in poor health and had suffered some awful reversals and catastrophes in recent years and felt himself to be facing others. He died "by his own hand" as it is said. He and I had long been friends and in these recent unhappy years had become closer, though we rarely saw each other.
I'm not prepared right now to write at length about Tom, or Tom and me, but I will.
The funeral will be private and for family. A memorial service is being planned probably for September in New York. More on this when more is known.
Quae nunc abibis in loca?... Nec ut solis dabis iocos.
