In Memoriam: Michael Henry Heim



We mourn the loss of a great humanist, translator and distinguished professor of Slavic languages and literatures at UCLA, Michael Henry Heim. One of our best remembered cultural events was the book fair in 2009 with professor Heim in conversation with students from Fairfax High School. He was a friend of SEEFest, and especially enjoyed our documentary programs and film retrospectives. We share with our readers tributes about this modest man from the Center for European and Eurasian Studies, PEN American Center and the Los Angeles Times.
