Sad day! This guy was a hilarious and talented writer. If anyone is looking for a book to pick up this weekend, I'd recommend checking out some of his work, especially if you like hard drinking Jewish nihilist detectives.
I loved Kinky. I first encountered him in a Washington Post interview in the early 1980s, in which he remarked "I'm searching for a lifestyle which does not require my presence." That's been my lodestar ever since. R.I.P. Kinkster.
