R.I.P. Barry Hannah
April Alvarez just alerted me to the sad news that Barry Hannah has passed away at the age of 67. This photo comes from a great recent profile of Mr. Hannah in Garden & Gun magazine. Here’s a quote:

I have been working through the stories in “Airships” since I visited Oxford last fall. Reading them before bed stirs up the weirdest dreams. I’m sad that I didn’t have the chance to pay him that compliment in person.
