Madeleine L'Engle dies at age 88.

Just last month I finally gave up on finding my long-missing copy of A Wrinkle In Time and bought a new one. And have since reread it, along with A Wind In The Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet.

I found myself impatient with some of the dialogue that I found pleasingly profound as a child, and less willing to suspend disbelief on some plot points, and disagreeing vehemently with some thematic points ... and even with all of that, I was struck again and again by how overwhelmingly good these books are.

Rest in peace, lady. And thank you.
