C.C., R.I.P.

Carla Cohen, co-founder and co-owner (with Barbara Meade) of Washington’s Politics & Prose bookstore, has died, aged seventy-four. The Times and the Washington Post have obituaries.

If, like me, you love Politics & Prose (and you surely do if, in addition to being a New Yorker sort of person, you’ve ever spent any serious time in Washington), then you had reason to love Carla Cohen, whether or not you were personally acquainted with her.

Carla’s son, Aaron, has been writing movingly about her, her illness, and, now, her death.
