The Shape of Days

Television writer and producer Michael Piller died on November 1 after a long battle with cancer. His friend and former employee Ron Moore, who has himself gone on to be the head writer and executive producer of a successful television serial, has written a touching eulogy for Michael on his blog. Maybe it’s just me, but it strikes me as the sort of thing that will strike anybody who reads it as movingly beautiful, but that only another writer could truly appreciate.

• “Michael Moore Hates America”
• There’s no such thing as bad publicity
• ‘Moral carpet-bombing from 10,000 feet’
