Drue Heinz, the former publisher of
Antaeus and the
Paris Review, has died. The Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette has
a lengthy obit.
The past year or so has seen the deaths of two of my favorite writers,
Charles Simmons and
Harry Mathews (and no doubt others I've forgotten for the moment), as well as
New York Review of Books editor Robert Silvers. For better or worse, the literary and intellectual world I grew up in is dwindling to an end. Something will replace it (though not for me). Time moves on.
My appreciation of
Antaeus can be found
here.
