| Edward Said diagnosed with rigor mortis |
| 2003-09-25 |
| Edward W. Said, a Columbia University professor and leading spokesman in the United States for the Palestinian cause, has died, his editor at Knopf publishers said Thursday. He was 67. Said died at a New York hospital, said editor Shelly Wanger. He had suffered from leukemia at least since the early 1990s. Don’t remember the leukemia being mentioned in the press before now. Born in 1935 in Jerusalem — then part of British-ruled Palestine — Said spent almost all his adult life in the United States. He wrote passionately about the Palestinian cause [and threw rocks at Israel] but also on a variety of other subjects — from English literature, his academic specialty, to music and culture. |
