André Glucksmann, "one of the most prominent of the French 'New Philosophers,' a group of former radicals who broke with Marxism in the 1970s and became an intellectual counterweight to France's political left," died Tuesday, the New York Times reported. His books include The Cook & the Cannibal and The Master Thinkers.

Paul Hogan, "a longtime manager at Robin's Books, Philadelphia's oldest independent bookseller," died Wednesday, the Inquirer reported. He was 77. Until the bookstore closed at the end of 2012, "Hogan was well-known to book lovers who flocked to Robin's not only for books but also to experience the place as a community center, counterculture magnet, and performance space for artists, poets, musicians, and teachers--many of them iconoclasts."
