Oscar Hijuelos

Wow! This is a shock. He died still young. I was talking to a friend about him and his books today. I searched to get the correct spelling of his last name and discovered he had passed on. My deepest sympathies to his wife and family. Oscar and I worked for the same company in the 80's. I enjoyed his wit and sense of humor.

Lori,
So very sorry for your loss. I met you in Albuquerque writers conference in May of 2007.
Oscar Hijuelos work has been a source of inspiration and encouragement for me
and many writers.
