Literary scholar, Karl Kroeber passed away this morning. He was 82. Best known for his work with Native American literature, he was also English and comparative literature at Columbia University. Our condolences go out to his sister, Ursula K. Le Guin, and to all his family and friends.
Cat Rambo’s latest book is NEAR+FAR, a collection of short SF stories from Seattle-based Hydra House Books.
Cent has teleported more than anyone on Earth except for her mother and father, but she’s never been able to do it herself. Until today…

I’m so very sorry for Ms. Le Guin and her family.
Karl was a good friend, a brilliant scholar, a devoted teacher, and that rarest of beasts, a truly fine human being. Losing him is a terrible blow.
He was kind and wonderful and brilliant, and I will miss him. May he rest in peace.
He taught a wonderful alumni colloquium on American Indian literature which I’ll never forget. He was a devoted scholar and kind man.
