A very talented and promising writer passed away last week in New York City. Perry Moore wrote Hero, a Lamda Award-winning novel about the adventures of a gay teenager who learns that he's a superhero.

I like superhero novels a lot, maybe because I've convinced myself that they're so much more mature than comic books. :eek: Mr. Moore was working on a sequel, which I was looking forward to, and he seemed very genuine and positive in interviews, so I was sorry to hear of his passing.

Terrible news! "Hero" was an incredible novel, truly one of a kind. What a loss to the literary community.

I was very sad to read the news as well. Hero was most definitely groundbreaking, and I was hoping there was more to come.
