Alan Bostick's blog entry on Disch's death

I'm not finding anything from any news sites yet.

Edit:

Boingboing had a mention. Does that count as a news site?

I've only ever read "Concentration Camp" but that was a fine read. RIP Mr. Disch.

Hey, the obit was by Cory Doctorow, that's always relevant!

Thank you very much!

You should try some of his short stories.

[fish23420]

I will, I will. Someday anyhoo. He also wrote "The Brave Little Toaster"? Wow.

[made_of_paradox]

Yes.

If you ever go to the library, see if they have Fun With Your New Head or The Fundamental Disch. There are some good short stories in those.

io9 is a great site, it's like Boingboing's sci-fi obsessed younger cousin.
