A sad goodbye to the scholar and FT writer Stanley Rothman , who died earlier this month at age 83. His name lives on through his son, David J. Rothman, who just reviewed Christian Wiman’s book of poetry in the latest issue of FT [subscription required].
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and those of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
