New fiction by Charles Yu; Hanif Abdurraqib remembers Eric Jerome Dickey
Nieman Lab has asked “some of the smartest people in journalism” for their 2021 predictions.
Hanif Abdurraqib writes about his gratitude for Eric Jerome Dickey, the best-selling novelist who died yesterday at age fifty-nine. For Abdurraqib, Dickey was an inspiration not just for his output, but for his roundabout path to becoming an author: “I’m always thankful for the life he lived before that. A life where he was still a writer, no matter what else he was doing.”
