    My father died tonight, December 16, a month shy of his 96th birthday.
    Norman Podhoretz passed peacefully and without pain, with a new
    translation of The Odyssey on his desk that had been sent to him by his
    friend Roger Hertog. It sat next to a copy of Alexander Pope's legendary translation, which he had asked my sister Naomi to order for him so he
    could compare the two. At the very end of his life, Norman Podhoretz was
    his truest self, a man of letters.
