RIP Christopher Dickey. Years ago I read, well actually I listened to on cassette, his harrowing story of his relationship with his father James Dickey. “Summer of Deliverance.” A book I will always remember and will never read again.

I am devastated to learn of the sudden death of great journalist and beloved colleague Chris Dickey. Can’t imagine Paris without his magnetic presence or our coverage of major foreign stories without his deep knowledge. He was generous, kind, witty and brilliant. RIP Christopher
