Happy Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist Day to all who celebrate.

In the late-’90s, I wrote to Tom @Skilling while writing my first novel, #TheWhiteCity. Needed to know the weather for a certain stretch of days in 1893. Dude wrote back with a detailed, encyclopedic narrative—blew my mind. The man. The legend.

What they obsess about—
Which leads to poetry.”

RIP to Donald Barliant, a Chicago iconoclast who bought Barbara’s Bookstore amid 1968’s eruptions and grew it into one of America’s singular independent bookstores. A literary funhouse where I first saw DFW in the flesh, home to the most exuberant #TheWhiteCity reading.

Vineland, the movie.

RIP, Gabe Hudson.
