    I am saddened to learn of his passing, even after 103 years. He was a gifted novelist.

    Yeah, it never would have occurred to me. He valued his privacy, apparently, and it worked.

    He reportedly was working on another novel, dying just a few days shy of his 104th birthday. By all accounts he lived an amazingly productive life.
