A big talent passed away on July 4. Tom Disch was a wonderful writer, lover of a wonderful poet Charles Naylor whose lack of a touchstone saddens me, and a huge impact on my personal life.

I said this in the memorial thread over in Science Fiction, but it bears repeating: Safe journey home, Thomas M. Disch. Your book Camp Concentration made my 14th year livable, bearable, doable. It was no small feat. You never knew, and might not have cared had you known, but your role in my life was profound and necessary.

May death become you, sir, and the fame you rightly expected in life come now too late; but come it should at last.

Sad day to learn of this.

Yes, very sad to learn of his passing, but he sure did things his own way. I would add The Genocides to his list of top-notch novels. RIP, Tom.
