but he wrote on gun violence. I read Bloodbath and heard interviews with him on it and never have forgotten it. I think of it every time we have a gun violence outbreak in the U.S., which sadly is every day.

I think, if I remember correctly, that work was discussed extensively here.

Be sure to go to the Gallery page on him. He was indeed extraordinary.
