We were acquainted; I lost touch with him right after Jest came out.

I just wrote a long post thanking him and blaming him.

It said some things that made us both look awful.

That one got g-locked.

Instead, I'm saying little and remembering who he was in 1992-93, back when I would pass out on his couch and he'd stay up all night, writing his ass off.

Damn, man, that sucks. Sorry you're having to go through that.

Disch, an ex's brother and now DFW...Suicide is following me around!

So sorry, Geoffrey, for your loss, and everyone else's.

I didn't know him well, we hung out a few dozen times. My bet is that he would've remembered me reasonably well, but as a random dude from a hazy past. I bet their are a few mutual friends left and I can think of one or two who are probably wrecked by this.

I'm sorry.

May he rest in peace.

May he RIP; my condolences to you. It's hard to lose someone you have unfinished 'business.'

I find it interesting that he was not teaching right now. For many a writer, it is work and sharing the passion that keeps us stable.

healing energies your way.

Condolences--I'm deeply shocked, and I never knew the guy.
