Mourning Boris Strugatskii

Admirers of science fiction and Russian literature will be saddened to learn that the last surviving half of the Strugatskii brothers’ formidable writing team, Boris Natanovich Strugatskii, died yesterday in St Petersburg after a long illness. An obituary will follow on this blog. For now, please see here for more details (in English), here for a Russian version, and here for a recent Russian-language profile of the author in Snob magazine.
