Dominick Dunne (1925 - Aug. 26, 2009)

August 26, 2009 - Sad to hear news of Dominick Dunne's death today. He was one of my most-favorite author/journalists. I loved his books, fiction and non-fiction, and his social chronicles and courtroom reporting on all the high-profile cases for Vanity Fair. I've missed his column in the magazine. He was epic cool and a class act -- you know, from the outside, of course. I really liked his style! He was a fatherish figure for me (he having lost his daughter; me having lost my father) and a role model of a great writing career.

In honor of Dominick Dunne (1925 - Aug. 26, 2009):
