Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, a regular contender for the Nobel prize for literature and one of few writers working in an indigenous African language (Gikuyu), has died aged 87.

Peter David, Star Trek and comics author, has just died after suffering health problems for some time. I met him once at a Comic Con - he was lovely.
I know him mainly for his future Spider-Man and X-Men adjacent stories, but he's best known for his work on the Incredible Hulk in what was maybe the last really formative run from Marvel's eighties heyday.
