This saddened me. If you have never read any of Stud's works, you really owe it to yourself to go do so.
He did not write so much as be the scribe for Americans of all stripes. Through him, I heard stories of World War II I would not have heard elsewhere. Not to mention discussions of race, of the working class, or stories of the Depression my grandparents would never have tried to burden us with.
All this pass, as do people, but I don't know if we'll see the likes of him any time soon.
