This post only relates to Bob in an indirect way. There have been just a few people in my life, aside from my family, who have occupied my thoughts almost every day. Bob is one, and another was Norman Mailer, who died this morning. I feel sick. He was a genius and an immense literary figure, a man with incredible insight into life and people, who possessed a remarkable writing style that no one else could replicate. This is terrible. And William Styron passed away not long ago, another author who influenced me greatly. I'm sorry these thoughts are off topic, but I had to get them out.
