Really sad to learn of the passing of Alastair Brotchie, whose stimulating and vital work with Atlas Press transformed the sphere of my reading in my late teens and—as a result—my outlook on the written word forever.

Alfred Jarry, ‘pataphysics, the OuLiPo, situationism: I’m not sure I’d really have encountered any of this without him. What a staggering and dogged contribution to the world of avant garde arts and letters he made. Go well into éthernité!
