A writerly life cut short, John. Thank you for this news.
jb says: He was too young, it’s true.

I agree and many avid readers of his novels will feel the loss. Far too young to go into that other world. May he RIP.

RIP indeed. I spent many happy hours in company with Aurelio Zen…
jb says: I never really got on with that series. But I loved Dirty Tricks, and several of the other stand-alones. And I was always interested in Dibdin’s criticism.

Too young to die.
I shall strongly miss Aurelio Zen.
I cant but wait for the last one.

I’ve just started to read the Aurelio Zen series after I read about the death of Michael Dibdin. Very impressive. I look forward to reading all his works. Good authors don’t really die as they live on through their work.
