Really sad to hear that Eric Brown has passed away, and far too young. Not only did he write some wonderful short stories, but I found so much wonderful #ScienceFiction via his monthly roundups in the Guardian.

Tonight I'll be reading The Time Lapsed Man in his honour, and if you've never read it you won't regret seeking it out.

The author Eric Brown died earlier today. If you've read any collections of 20th Century Scifi or Fantasy then chances are you've read one or more of his short stories.

The Guardian has a good obituary https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/mar/23/eric-brown-science-fiction-author-and-guardian-critic-dies-aged-62 and this sentence from one of his friends really caught my eye. Who wouldn't want this said about them?

“I knew him as a kind, self-effacing and generous soul who wasn’t above a curmudgeonly grumble now and then or the occasional rant at the inanities of the world but remained nonetheless sanguine and positive"
