My dad's library had a whole section on South American politics. I remember a book about Acción Popular that mentioned Gastón Acurio. Ninety-five years of building things and serving his country. That sticks with you.

She wanted her funeral in the afternoon so people could get to the theatre. That tells you everything about who she was and what mattered to her. A true artist.

For S. R. Janakiraman · 5d ago

Never saw him perform live but watched some of his December Academy lectures on DVD. The detail, the rigour. You felt like he was building a whole world of sound in front of you, brick by brick.

My mother read his column every night in the Mainichi. She said he made her understand what was really happening in politics, not just what the news said.

For Laura Cardoso · 20d ago

Ninety-eight years of showing up at 3 a.m. to work. That kind of dedication stays with you.

For Keiko Kishi · 27d ago

I read her essay collection last year and it changed how I think about making hard choices. She lived what she wrote. Rest well, Ms. Kishi.
