A very great writer (and stylist) gone.

Her book about photography "Diana & Nikon" is interesting but she wrote a lot a lot of crap on Garry Winogrand, who - unlike Malcolm - will remain in people's memory.
Therefore it's not truly a "RIP" neither a "good riddance witch"! Something in the middle?

" “When we die, our species disappears with us. Nobody like us will ever exist again.”
True that. Bye!

What? Shirley, she deserves to rest in peace.

Her In the Freud Archives is great prose, a testimony to a sense of acute observation, and great humour. (And, through Peter Swales, has "some kinda Stones connection")

But I agree that her comments on other people were often exaggerated and left the reader with a bitter taste in his or her mouth.
