Paul Farge Obituary, Death – It came as a surprise when I learned that Paul La Farge, who was not only one of my closest friends but also someone I believed to be more like a brother, had recently gone away. Paul was someone who I considered to be more like a brother than a friend. If you haven’t had the opportunity to read any of his previous works, “The Night Ocean” is the one that I would suggest starting with as a first pick because it is such a good introduction to his writing. He showed the same kind of warmth and wit toward the people who read his writing as he did toward the people he knew on a more intimate level. He was a really approachable person. those persons who had an extremely strong affection for him and had an in-depth understanding of his character.

The name “La Farge” comes from its creator’s hometown of New York City.
