It is a beautiful article. It feels a little self-serving that it’s coming out during Emmy voting, but maybe, like he says, he needed this time to mourn. Maybe there won’t ever be a right time, but sometimes you have to just put the pen to the paper and get it all out. Very sad to lose someone that young.
A beautiful and moving piece. Funny too, of course. In addressing a very specific loss of an artistic partner, like all good writing about grief, it is resonant of all loss. He was also wonderfully adept at describing their collaborative process.
