He died of a self-administered gunshot wound to the head in Ketchum, Idaho, at the age of 61. Whether you think his fiction is breathtaking or banal, stylistically revolutionary or comical, a true picture of man's internal life or a brutal cartoon of woman's, he was and remains important to literature and those of us who love it.

To celebrate it, we've pulled together some really amazing videos to celebrate the author of "The Short, Happy Life of Francis McComber" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls." Enjoy. (Or revile.)

Ideally we're after a blogger based in Silicon Valley, who can attend the local events on our behalf and meet with startups. However we'll consider non-Valley bloggers too. The role description is basically: cover breaking web tech news and product reviews. So don't worry, you won't have to write long, analytical posts like many RWW writers do :-) If this sounds like you, email the editor with the subject line 'RWW Writer Position'.

]]> Note: I will automatically disqualify anyone who uses the acronym 'RRW' ;-)

In your email, tell me a bit about yourself and why you want to write for RWW. It also helps if you are a current blogger and point to a few examples of your best work.
