Besson quitte la scéne. The headline hung from the box where the Tribune de Genève was sold. Like all death announcements it is written as if the person who died made a conscious choice. The readers are eased into knowledge of his death in the second or third sentence where we were told the age of the director and that he died (they used the word mort) in Berlin.
I’ve blogged before about the way deaths are announced. However, although this man walked off the stage of life it will not beat Arthur Miller going to join his beloved Marilyn.
What would my obit be if I acheived more writing success than currently I have?
Nelson will play no more Cubis 2
Nelson has stroked her last keyboard
Nelson will no longer ride the trains
Nelson has finished her last fondue
