I got home late from work tonight only to discover that American novelist John Updike has died, aged 76.
Channel 4 News, here in the UK, has a nice tribute to him.
I assume the newspapers, on both sides of the Atlantic, will currently be going into over-drive (if they haven't already) penning obituaries and literary eulogies.
And tomorrow, what's the bet Updike's back catalogue will have bumped Stephanie Meyers off Amazon's bestseller list?
