New York times WWW site, Jan. 25, 2013 (in obituary published Jan. 24: Richard G. Stern; b. Richard Gustave Stern, Feb. 25, 1928, New York City; d. Thursday [Jan. 24, 2013], Tybee Island, Ga., aged 84; his novels, short stories, and essays were almost universally admired in the literary world, but his name remained stubbornly unrecognized in the wider world of readers, earning him a reputation for being, as one reviewer put it, "the best American author of whom you have never heard"; wrote more than 20 books of fiction and nonfiction, mostly while teaching literature and creative writing at the University of Chicago (1955-2001))
