Really sad news coming out of Wycliffe College today with the passing of David Demson. Anyone who reads Barth in English (especially in North America) is greatly indebted to him. wycliffecollege.ca/about/news-m...

"It is with deep sadness that we learned of the death of Professor David Demson yesterday. David was a devoted and beloved member of the faculty at Wycliffe College for nearly twenty years.
