aw, crap indeed.
He was such a talent. Crash is one of the most highly-charged erotic books I've ever read (even if it is supposed to serve as a warning against fetishing material objects).

Ditto
I am mighty upset at his passing. Our greatest living author and all that.

The buck has been passed to John Berger.

That is a downer...

Is in your eye
The hand brake
Penetrates your thigh
Quick - Let's make love
Before you die.'
