Totally, blew right through it, will probably check out more Blake Crouch (new to me)

some recent faves were Recursion (Blake Crouch) [episodic memory time travel fiasco page turner], Careless People (Sarah Wynn-Williams) [Facebook behind scenes awfulness], and Portalmania (Debbie Urbanski) [short stories with portals, black mirroresque]

Art had an outsized impact, I got to meet him a couple times when he, as emeritus, came back to Brooklyn College to give talks. He was a longtime faculty member, chair, and beloved colleague at Brooklyn College. Colleagues here at BC put together this tribute:

DCI Ernie Cactus Pants is curious as always
