Cititor SF

De pe o lista de discutii…

Dear all,

At 4 o’clock this morning Rob Holdstock passed away.

He had been in intensive care since the 18th of November when he
collapsed due to an E. coli infection.

I’m heartsick to have lost a dear friend.

My sincere sympathies to his partner Sarah Biggs and both their families.

Rob was one of the best fantasy writers of his generation, and was a man
with a huge appetite for life. I’m deeply saddened that he has been
taken from us so soon at only 61 years old.

Robert Holdstock e cunoscut in Romania doar printr-o singura nuvela (Codrul Mitago/Mythago Wood, Almanahul Anticipatia 1994), dar a scris multe alte nuvele si romane care din pacate nu au ajuns la cititorii romani (si probabil ca nici n-o vor face…). Am mai scris de el aici.

Nu ne transformam in site de necrologuri si nici nu imi inchipui ca o sa le pese multora de asta, dar era printre autorii mei preferati si mie, una, imi pare foarte rau.
