Vale, Denis Dutton - who made sure we read & listened to the best stuff

To-day the banner of Arts & Letters Daily is in black - instead of its usual red.  It announces the passing of Denis Dutton who is the same age as me. Ah, mortality!  

Whatever else Denis Dutton may have left behind, A& L Daily is quite a legacy.  

I discovered Arts & Letters Daily via Shane Maloney.  While Dutton originally designed A & L for his students so that they could keep up with essays, articles etc, it is the most wonderful resource for the miscellaneous mind. And A& L covers so much more including international newspaper and radio links. 

Thank you Denis for the hours of pleasure you have given me.

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
