Sad news, although not unexpected. I had the honor of interviewing Angell a few years ago for an essay on the cartoonist Gluyas Williams, who, like Angell's mom & step-father, was at the New Yorker from near the start.https://twitter.com/sarahw/status/1527750347900571648 …

You can't live to be 101 and not know much grief. Angell, as he said, not only outlived his generation but the generation below him. He outlived two of his daughters. His great essay "This Old Man" is about the courage it takes to merely continue living.https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/534347/this-old-man-by-roger-angell/9781101971390 …

He was a great essayist. Every April, for a good number of years, I looked forward to reading anything he got published in that magazine on the game of baseball.
