She was a great writer, and the only winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature to have written sci-fi (I think) - Canopus in Argos: Archives was strangely excellent.

My wife told me just a few minutes ago. We're losing a lot of great SF writers this year!

I just checked her wiki page and although I was never introduced to her works, Any author that has been as successful as she is, will be terribly missed as the old schoolers pass through this phase of life.

RIP
