George Macdonald Fraser, RIP
George Macdonald Fraser, he of Harry Flashman, The Steel Bonnets, Quartered Safe Out Here, and The General Danced at Dawn, died this week at the age of 82. I found this out via Lars Walker at Brandywine Books, who also links (via Blue Crab Boulevard) to a posthumous essay in which Fraser blasts “political correctness” and all that goes along with it. I couldn’t agree more.
Rest in peace, Mr. Fraser. You’ll be missed.
