Giancarlo DiTrapano, the founder of Tyrant Books, seemed to care only about doing the thing right, no matter how many times the thing had previously been fucked up. Losing him on March 30 was not the right thing. In a year of too much death much too close to home, the illogic of pain had me hoping that, even though my loss made no sense, other people’s loss would conform to some kind of reason. This is, obviously, not how anything works. Grief builds these dumb, blinding walls.
