Ralph Wiley, RIP

I really liked the way he wrote. It wasn't linear, and so it took a little more work to read than most writing in the genre, but I appreciated it. The way he riffed on stuff and circled back to themes reminded me of jazz, a thought I had before I read the tribute to him on ESPN.com, which includes a writer talking about Wiley making that comparison in (tellingly) a more sophisticated way.
