Via con Dios, Mr. Zevon

Warren Zevon died. Remembrances at Patrick Nielsen Hayden’s, Crooked Timber, and by Michael Swanwick.

He was our post-colonial Kipling, singing stories of expats and scoundrels:

I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air

Landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear

I’m thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals

See you in the next life, wake me up for meals
