Associated Press/G.P. Putnam's Sons, John Earle

 

My sister contacted me with some bad news today.  Yesterday my favourite author passed away.  His name was Robert B Parker.

 

Robert B Parker was a prolific writer, authoring books across several genres.  I own many of his books and he is one of the few authors whose work I reread.

 

His recurring exploration of masculinity, the nature of autonomy and relationships were not only educational but compelling reading for me.  I don't really know what else to write about him other than his work has been a positive influence in my life.

 

Below are some links to obituaries written by people far better at summarising his life and worth than I.

 

Wall Street Journal

Los Angeles Times

New York Times
