Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, an author and literary critic regarded as one of the founders of queer theory, died April 12 in New York City after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 58.

She was a "brilliant, inimitable, explosive intellectual," wrote Richard Kim, senior editor of the Nation . "It is difficult to calculate the impact of Sedgwick's scholarship, in part because its legacy is still in the making."
