Hmmm... this is all new to me too, and I have no idea if I'm doing this right. It appears to be adding to my original message. Oh well...

Thanks so much for responding. Yes Svaran was only 46, like myself, and a black belt in martial arts (he found PEZ's mastery of the sword and his ability to translate that into words particularly impressive, as did I) so his death has been a great shock.

Perhaps if you'd be so kind as to email me on polemic [at] imprimus [dot] com [dot] au and I can provide you some information to pass to the family via that means.

Hello, Lorriew. I see from your edit to the Paul Edwin Zimmer page started by myself and my colleague Svaran that you are in touch with PEZ's sister.

I understand that Svaran not only spoke online to PEZ when he was alive but also to members of his extended family.

I'd therefore be grateful if you'd pass on to them that Svaran himself passed away on 23 August this year, in the midst - as he always was - of writing what had become called "the epic": his attempt to honour and to some degree emulate Paul's writing. He'd been working on this, periodically, for over 20 years since he first read one of PEZ's books.

Myself and colleagues are going to try to recover the text of "the epic" and would like to send a copy to Paul's family as something of a final tribute to them both.

Would you be able to pass on my contact details to a family representative?

Thanks
