We are sad to learn of Jim Suruda’s death; we did not know him well, but his writing was unique and memorable. Thank you for helping us find more of his work to read.

One of the most interesting and smartest people I ever met died at the end of last month. He did amazing things with pretty much anything he chose to do, and after I learned he died I found a few short stories he wrote, which I'm sharing here as a tiny tribute.
