The great era of 70s and 80s literary fiction writers, is coming to an end

It kind of dawned to me after hearing the news of Paul Auster's death that, we lost McCarthy,A.s Byatt, Martin Amis, Milan Kundera,Luis Gluck, Kenzaburo Oe last year

We have already lost John Barthe and Paul Auster this year.

László Krasznahorkai is 70

Margaret Atwood is 84

Alice Munro is 92

Thomas Pynchon is 86

Haruki Murakami is 75

Salman Rushdie is 76

Even Kazuo Ishiguro,Olga Tokarczuk, Jon Fosse, Yoko Ogawa are in their 60s. There must be many more. I am sure.

And I feel kind of sad because of that. You could call me naive and strange and parasocial, but when some of these people passed away I felt that I lost a dear friend. I am pretty sure that I will feel sad again in the future.

The only thing I could say is that they will live on through their fiction and poetry and the only thing I could wish is that they are able to find some sort of peaceful afterlife.

RIP Mr. Auster we will remember you.
