With a reluctant sigh of resignation, the world bids a forlorn farewell to the enigmatic Professor Montgomery “Monty” J. Thoreau, a beacon of scholarly brilliance in the realms of fine art and literature, who departed from this world on May 12, 2023.
Monty Thoreau, 89, made his mark as a distinguished scholar of his time but was better known as an ornery recluse, a codger in a world teeming with zeal and conviviality. A resolute contrarian, he had an oddball charm that was as hard to understand as it was to miss. In the battlefield of intellectual discourse, he fought with a sarcastic rapier, his words often deemed too critical, too sharp.
