I am sorry to hear that George Plimpton has died. One might at first blush dismiss him as a gimmick writer, a man in search of a publicity stunt, but the one book of his I've read, his oral biography of Truman Capote, is a fine piece of work; it takes more than transcription and editing to create a memorable portrait from so many and conflicting voices. RIP.
