Raymond Federman 1928-2009

Author, poet and critic passes away
I am sad to report that French writer and academic Raymond Federman has passed away after a long illness. He was the author of numerous novels, volumes of poetry and translation. He was also one of the first academics to write a sustained analysis of Samuel Beckett's prose, Journey to Chaos: Samuel Beckett's Early Fiction. I'm happy to say that I was lucky enough to correspond with him a number of times, and found him to be witty, enthusiastic and extremely generous.
