A true giant has passed. John Updike, a truly titanic author who has written dozens of novels along with essays, reviews, and short stories, is dead at the age of 76.

I have read several of his novels, and wrote essays in college about his work. I found him brilliant, very readable and absolutely compelling. He will be missed.
