Popular German author Siegfried Lenz has passed away; see, for example German author Siegfried Lenz dies, aged 88 -- or longer (German) tributes such as Ein Virtuose der Nachsicht (Wolfgang Schneider, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) and Der Menschenerzähler (Beatrix Langner, Neue Zürcher Zeitung).
A fair bit of his work has been translated into English, but he never really seemed to catch on; the only one of his titles under review at the complete review is A Minute's Silence (so the UK title -- it was then published in the US as Stella).
