"On Tuesday when Gary Indiana’s library came to Los Angeles, it rested for a while in the appointed house in Altadena. But it was the wrong day. If they – the signed editions, the rare art books, the weird books, the books Gary treasured – had come a day later, there would have been no address to deliver them to, so they would have been saved. But on that Tuesday, unfortunately, there still was an address."
Thanks for sharing the link to donate. It's a heart-breaking situation.
Tóibín's closing paragraph here is haunting.

Poignant and sad.
