Luc de Heusch, the acclaimed ethnographer of central Africa, structural anthropologist, and documentary filmmaker, has just passed away. Before his retirement some years ago, Luc was a long an influential professor at the Free University of Brussels. Of his many books, the best known of those translated into English is _The Drunken King, or the Origin of the State_ (Indiana University Press, 1982). The work elegantly sets forth the logic of transformation among central African myths-and especially those of what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo-as well as a methodology that has inspired many. Luc was a most generous soul and astounding character, and he will be greatly missed.
