The Strugatsky brothers were among the finest SF writers of the 20th century. Arkady died some years ago, and now Boris is also gone. Very sad day for lovers of science fiction. If you've never read their work, I strongly suggest the newest US trade paperback of Roadside Picnic, which includes an afterward detailing the book's torturous route to publication in the USSR.
