In Memoriam, Ivan Doig (1939–2015)

University Book Store is saddened to hear of the passing of Ivan Doig, the critically acclaimed author and a loyal friend and customer to the store, at age 75. His accolades included the prestigious Wallace Stegner Award in 2007, the Western Literature Association’s lifetime Distinguished Achievement award, and he was the recipient of more awards from the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association than any other writer. During the past 8 years, he was afflicted with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells, but also managed to write four well-received novels—Work Song, The Bartender's Tale, Sweet Thunder, and Last Bus to Wisdom, which is forthcoming from Riverhead Books this August.

“The spaces between stars are where the work of the universe is done.”
