Harry B. Weber (1929-2010)

[Valentino, Russell]

I'm sorry to announce that University of Iowa Emeritus Professor of Russian Harry B. Weber, whom some on this list will remember as the editor of The Modern Encyclopedia of Russian and Soviet Literature in the 1970s and 80s, died on July 22 after a short illness. He is fondly remembered by colleagues, friends, and loved ones as a generous and genuinely kind man, an inspiring teacher, knowledgeable, witty, charming, forever curious. I'll miss him.
