Long-time author, translator, fan and critic Sven Christer Swahn passed away on the Saturday aged 71, after a period of illness, I was just told. Damn. He was a wonderful person, witty, friendly, obscure, intelligent; an excellent translator, a really good author... you get the picture.

He kept me in SF before I started in on the English. I'm sorry he's dead.

Oh how sad...and he wasn't all that old.
He sure did a lot for Sci-fi in Sweden.
