Chinese-born author Han Suyin, whose 1952 book A Many-Splendoured Thing (released as the film Love Is a Many-Splendoured Thing in 1955) "shocked Hong Kong with its tale of her love affair with a married man and its sympathy for the appeal of communism to China's downtrodden millions," died recently, the Guardian reported. She was 95.

Daniel R. Moore, co-founder of McIntyre & Moore, the Cambridge, Mass., bookstore, died last Tuesday. He was 62.
As noted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Moore worked for Kroch's & Brentano's in the Chicago area. In 1983, he and another Chicago bookseller, Michael McIntyre of Powell's Books, moved to Cambridge and founded their academic bookstore, which friend and fellow bookseller Gene Paquette, v-p of Powell's Booksellers, Chicago, said was "the finest used bookstore in Boston"--a high distinction. After 25 years and four locations, McIntyre and Moore closed their last shop, in Porter Square, but continued to sell books online from their warehouse in Lawrence.
Moore's family asked that memorial donations be made to Reading Is Fundamental.
