Very sad indeed. My wife is a big fan.
This is a big loss here.
I took his short story class in the late 90s and he was a great teacher, full of life. I just saw him Saturday night at Snack Bar and really regret not going over and saying hello. What a loss.
Barry didn’t make me a writer, but he did teach me how to read and what to love about books. Thanks for the education, Barry! You’ll be missed.
I moved to Alaska just about the time Hey Jack! was published. While registering at the Anchorage library, I suggested to the desk gal that they get a copy. She checked and said that they had two. And they were both checked out.
I had not read any of his works, however in my Southern Lit. course we are about to cover Mr. Hannah and write a paper on the upcoming book conference. I guess that’s fitting, but it’ll be hard to read it this week. Rest in Peace.
I understand that Mr. Hannah helped Larry Brown and other new writers get a start. He must have had a generous spirit.
The New York Times will have an obituary shortly.
