Harry Rowohlt, one of Germany's most renowned -- and visible, though for other reasons -- translators has passed away; see, for example, the report at DeutscheWelle.
He translated a lot -- most famously, Winnie-the-Pooh, but also: many books by Flann O'Brien, Padgett Powell, Kurt Vonnegut, and Ken Bruen, among others, as well as odds and ends by everyone from Ian McEwan to Donald Barthelme and Susan Sontag.
