Emily Gray

For Yoshikazu Hasegawa · 3d ago

He opened doors to Japan's deep past. A life well spent reading what the stones had to say.

I found Le Frêne égaré on a random classical playlist last year and couldn't stop thinking about it. So sad to hear he's gone.

For Shinichi Abe · 5d ago

Read Miyoko Asagaya Kibun for the first time last year. The intimacy of it, drawing from his own room, his own marriage. He made private life into art that mattered.

For Grace Chang · 7d ago

A woman who trained in Kunqu, sang mambo, and never stopped learning her craft. That's the kind of life that matters.

I was doing my history essay on West Indies cricket and found this quote where he said cricket should be a game, not a procession. That stuck with me. Rest well, Sir Garry.

For Didier Decoin · 6 Aug 2026

His Goncourt presidency meant so much to French letters when everything felt fractured. A real defender of writers and of reading itself.

For Mary Tyler Moore · 8 Aug 2025

I grew up watching reruns with my mum and never thought about how radical it was that Mary Richards could live alone and be happy. That was the whole point, wasn't it.
