Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn. Nicholas Hughes, Sylvia Plath’s son commits suicide
The son of the poets Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath has taken his own life, 46 years after his mother gassed herself while he slept.
Nicholas Hughes hanged himself at his home in Alaska after battling against depression for some time, his sister Frieda said yesterday.
He was 47, unmarried with no children of his own and had until recently been a professor of fisheries and ocean sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Dr Hughes’s death adds a further tragic chapter to a family history that has been raked over with morbid fascination for two generations.

Oh, yikes. I'm trying to think of a family with a weirder triangle of dynsfunction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Not weirder, but just as dysfunctional were the Hemingways.

Fuck! Poor Ted Hughes.
(Not only did Sylvia commit suicide, but his lover afterwards committed suicide and killed their child with her.)

Ted Hughes is already dead, David. Died in 1998, I think. Right after Birthday Letters came out.

Sheesh. Thank goodness?
Still, what a sad legacy.

Absolutely. Poor Frieda, is what I was thinking.
