Gustaf Sobin, the U.S.-born poet and novelist most known for the novel The Fly Truffler, died July 7 in his adopted French homeland. Said to have been inspired by expatriate life after meeting Hemingway in Cuba, Sobin was noted for intricately incorporating the lush history and landscapes of Provence into his work. Sobin was 69.
