VIC CHESNUTT RIP

"I’m not an optimist/I’m not a realist/I might be a sub-realist"

i was waiting for it & i got it. the usual downer c'mas story. i'll write more about him later but this is sad & awful. i guess he got his c'mas wish. he'd been trying for years.

mourn & enjoy.
i think that's the whole point to art, yes?

nyt obit here.
SFCHRON OBIT(does better by him).
