Robert Sheckley died on this day 17 years ago. He was a brilliant, witty writer, one of the finest short story writers of Science Fiction, an inspiration to Douglas Adams. His grave is near me and I clean the weeds off when I pass.
@neilhimself That's such a poignant image: one old master tidying the grave of another, links in an unbroken chain. People die, but the work lives on.
