Despite being an atheist , I have visited Notre Dame several times to wonder at the craftsmanship. This is devastating.

There are probably more people on the planet who know Notre Dame, than don't.
I bet Trump is (NOT) donating to it's restoration.

Gene Wolfe, one of the greats of contemporary literature, aged 87. I am rereading one of his early novels at the moment, and I got back home yesterday after a bus journey during which I was listening to a detailed discussion about it, finally understanding what's really going on in the story, and saw the news of his death. Not unexpected, but still a shock. He's a difficult writer if you want to understand him fully, but very rewarding; his stories are often told from the point of view of someone who is involved in or who thinks he (or she) is telling another story, so you have to work out the real story yourself with not very much (but just enough) to go on. His prose is a joy to read, but you must learn not to trust it. I saw it put like this yesterday:
It sounds far too tricksy to be involving; but the story of the waitress and the red cap would make reading it worthwhile; then you get the real story the next time, or the time after that.
