Hi Patrick, sad news from Publishers Marketplace this morning:
Obituary: Jacques de Spoelberch
Agent Jacques de Spoelberch, 88, died on December 26, 2024 in Connecticut. Born in Belgium, de Spoelberch attended Princeton University and worked at Houghton Mifflin as an editor, where he published James Dickey's Deliverance. He became a literary agent in 1971 and launched his own agency in 1975. According to a tribute from friend and writer Neil Kirk, de Spoelberch was signing new clients as recently as last fall.
"He was a kind and gentle soul whose elegance and eloquence was only exceeded by his erudition," Kirk writes.
