R.I.P.: Josephine Hart

Josephine Hart died June 3. She was a few years younger than I am. Hart was the last writer, as best as I can recollect, to blow me away upon introduction to her work. I believe I first read her novel Sin, followed by Oblivion, two of my favorite themes, and man, the accomplishments there impressed me hugely. I read everything I could find by her.

This comes to mind not because of her death, which I just learned about, but because Kindle had a sale on her best known novel Damage and I picked it up. Time to reread a lot of Hart. No one writes better about lust.
