The Matrix tribute issue.
The latest issue of Matrix is out, a tribute to Rob Allen, who died on November 3rd, last year.
The cover is a picture of Rob when he was small. At his sister’s, a week after he was gone, we all gathered and in her bedroom, she’d put on old home movies of when they were children. They had pictures of Rob in blankets, a baby. So strange, so strange to have lost your friend and see him, for the first time, so impossibly young and unmade. He was one of my closest friends, and someone I lived with, too, for many years. I’ve got a piece in it about meeting him and about losing him. I wasn’t sure I could write it. Anyway, the piece I wrote is up on the site.
