James Lileks on Mortality

James Lileks, known to bloggers for his daily Internet column The Bleat, wrote a long piece in 1996 about his mother’s death from cancer. Go forth and read “October at Home“.

And if you want a shorter take on losing a parent to cancer, read my doggerel “But through fifth floor hospital panes….” in an old PDF edition of Prolog. It’s no One True Thing, but it got published.
