Andre Norton 1912-2005

[rolanni]

Andre Norton died this morning, peacefully in her own home, with her friend and her cats with her.

There are no words that adequately express this loss. She was supportive, kind, interested -- and that doesn't begin to address the impact of her work.

The foundations just took a big hit...

Andre Norton was the first writer I identified in my youth as writing the sort of stuff that I REALLY liked to read. I was thrilled when I learned she was female, because I felt very lonely as a girl who liked science fiction in the sixties.

Hence my LJ user name.
