DK is the *former* longtime book and film critic for WW: he hasn't worked there for about a decade, but he was there for something like 10-12 years before that. Until most recently, he was working at Powell's and freelancing and writing books. But when he left the book store to write full-time, he lost his coverage. And then he got ill.

Lots of details here: http://culturepulp.typepad.com/culturepulp/2008/04/dk-holm-could-u.html

One nice thing has happened: a dozen or so of the most influential film blogs and news sites on the web have taken up the call for help. Good to see a sense of community form, even if it takes something so dire to occasion it.
