She was once as big as Stephen King, but then kinda vanished. Now her death seemed barely noticed.

No, let me rephrase, I loved her early books. I think Blood and gold was the last thing I read of hers but I didn't enjoy the experience.Rangi Guy wrote:Even Violen?

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

His work campaigning against apartheid in Israel and Palestine being omitted in many obituaries. Some outlets are shameless.
