One piece of good news: Robert Sheckley is now back home. As I reported here, Sheckley had been taken ill in the Ukraine and was unable to pay the medical bills for the Kiev hospital, or for a flight back home to the US.
An item in today’s Russian News & Information Agency says that he was able to fly back home on last Friday. Mind you, it also says that the doctors weren’t happy with his condition (he has a serious respiratory disease), so perhaps the 76 year old author isn’t entirely home and dry yet. Here’s hoping that he pulls through.
