Wow. United We Stand was playing when I was a tot. Every now and then the chorus rolls briefly through my mind… it’s the one part of the song I ever really knew.

Novelist and short story writer Robert Coover, a master of metafictional and intricately fabulist and experimental literature, died on Saturday in Warwick, England, “surrounded by family,” according to the AP.
He was celebrated (particularly by other writers) for works that used and exploded myths of all kinds—fairy tales, political narratives (his most famous book is likely The Public Burning, a satirical novel about the Rosenbergs), and other invisible frameworks on which we base our everyday lives. In his most famous short story, the brilliant, destabilizing “The Babysitter,” which was included in his first story collection, Pricksongs and Descants, he calls into question the very nature of storytelling itself—and a lot of other things besides.

Ars has a nice piece on him.
His work lives on. Here. Everywhere.
Basically, he made us possible.

You must watch some of these films at least. Storied multimedia artist, computer art pioneer, filmmaker and all round incredible person Lilian Schwartz has died.
There’s an NYT obit there too but I haven’t read that.

I do post in this thread a lot and it’s because it’s an opportunity to appreciate someone’s work. I hope quite a few people will have that pleasure with Lilian Schwartz.
