Going through today's obits I discovered that Evan S. Connell, author of "Son of the Morning Star," as well as numerous other books and poems, was found dead in his apartment in Sante Fe, NM. His neice, Donna Waller, said he likely died of old age. Mr. Connell was 88.

Son of the Morning Star still sits on my book shelf. I've had it for so long I don't even recall when I bought it.
