Sad news. :(
Essentially, he was my age. He would have turned 61 in about a week and a half.

Slate ran a nice tribute to him:

Now I want to read Confederates in the Attic. I remember hearing good things about it when it came out.

I've started Jia Tolentino's account of how she lost her Christian faith (I guess that's an accurate description of the article) (May 27).
I'm only on page 40, but as I was double checking to write this post, my eye was caught by the paragraph on page 41 that begins, "I have been walking away from institutional religion for half my life now. ..." Yet in that paragraph she writes that she is glad she had the upbringing in institutional religion that she had. I find that interesting, and I can't wait to read more of the article.
Jeff Wrangler:
I can't believe it, but I've actually outrun my New Yorkers. I've finished the June 10-17 issue, but as of yesterday's mail the June 24 issue has not yet arrived. Instead of the magazine, I'm reading a book at lunch.
