JU

No shit, I was looking in my man-purse at books in there and I had a copy of The Centaur and thought "9 to 11 inches of snow, expected, sweet! I can read this tonight!" because it's about a father and a son in a snowstorm, of all things, and right then the phone rang and it was my friend Ian saying "Sorry, dude, Updike's dead," as Gabe chortled incoherently in the background.

I'm also bummed that he only rated a "yellow" reverse bar on CNN, as opposed to a red, because this all sort of buries petty shit like 9/11.

If temporality is held to be invalidating, etc.

I yelled, "Updick!" first then the more comical, "Updead!" If you didn't know, now you know...
