Photo by Dave Wood Last fall, Gretchen Kresl and Jon Hassler took a break from working on "Jay O'Malley" for an interview with MinnPost. See video at right in related content. Jon Hassler, considered one of Minnesota's leading contemporary novelists, died early this morning from complications of a degenerative neuromuscular disease that had ravaged him for more than a decade.

He would have been 75 on March 30. "He wrote right to the end," said Lee Hanley, a close friend and colleague at St. John's University in Collegeville, where Hassler was writer-in-residence from 1980 to 1997. Earlier this year, Hanley said he helped Hassler and his wife, Gretchen Kresl, organize chapters of what is expected to be Hassler's 22nd book. "We were uncertain which chapter was which, but when we read a line — just one line — Jon would know precisely where it was in the novel," Hanley said. The novel, tentatively titled "Jay O'Malley," is virtually complete, Hanley reported. In a statement, St. Fantastic Fiction. Project Gutenberg Australia.
