I loved her non-fiction book ‘The Year of Magical Thinking’.

Such an intelligent woman. A loss to the world.

She’s been one of my favourite writers for a very long time. It’s sad, but of course she was 87 which is a good age. Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The White Album are some of my favourite books.
