    Wow. I can't believe he hanged himself. I had to read Oblivion and A Supposedly Fun Thing... This complex style was a complete contrast to anything I had ever read. Not many could write in the style he did and pull it off. He will be sadly missed.

    Maybe it's a message that a writer has more concerns than writing a best-seller.

    Yes, that's probably it. And he gave his life to deliver that message. That is SO sweet.

    Not a literal message, dum-dum.
