Miller used to get annoyed when mentioned in the same breath as more popular public intellectuals (someone once told me that a it was considered sport to those who didn't like Miller to mention Melvyn Bragg's name in his presence) So, he'd likely hate being eclipsed by a celebrity chef and Clive James on the day he died 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,477 Posted February 28, 2020 1 hour ago, Toast said: What was the story there, then? Freak surgery complication, apparently. " Saide’s sister said in a Facebook post that her brother had undergone surgery to remove a bone that had been growing on his spinal cord. The surgery was successful and Saide returned home with the use of a walking stick. On February 26, Saide went to the ER due to complications from a DVT diagnosis related to his surgery. Saide’s sister said that his heart stopped and he was unable to be resuscitated. A private cremation for Saide will be held in New York City." 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
