It has been a tough week for writers, here is one obituary.  Here is Wikipedia.  Here is a review of his essay on why Europeans hate Americans.  Revel was probably the most important conservative French thinker of the last thirty or forty years; his writings on food and gastronomy also repay the effort of study.

Thanks, I’ve corrected the wording on the link. Aron I consider as belonging to the previous generation.
