Here are Heartfelt messages from people on social media:

Devastated to hear that Giancarlo DiTrapano has passed away. He did wonderful things with New York Tyrant, both as a press and as a magazine, and was a warm, encouraging person with a real taste for challenging literature.

I have fond memories of sitting in his apartment with him, our hands covered with red ink, as we marked up the limited edition copies of Baby Leg. I loved what he published and I’m sorry he’s gone. RIP and godspeed.

The last conversation I had with Giancarlo DiTrapano was a couple of weeks ago–we were gleefully awaiting the Fleetwood Mac reunion farewell tour, plotting how to be vaccinated in time. Talking about love and how wonderful it is and how difficult.

“Think of art galleries all over the world,” I said. “Nobody ever tells you to look at the paintings one by one and yet that’s exactly what we all do… In this life, nothing beats the fascination and fruitfulness of an intimate relationship with just one other being.” And of course, as usual, he understood me perfectly.

There was never any chit chat with Gian–every conversation, no matter how brief, was vast and contained a fragment of everything.
Rest in peace, dear sweet Gian–loved and missed and gone far far too soon

We are saddened to inform everyone that the founder of Tyrant Books, Giancarlo DiTrapano, has died 💔
—
Gian was born on January 30, 1974, in Charleston, West Virginia. He was the son of the late Rudolph Lidano DiTrapano, and Martha Veazey DiTrapano, who survives him. Gian was also preceded in death by his brother, Lidano Albert DiTrapano.

Gian is survived by his husband, Giuseppe Avallone, his mother, Martha, sisters, Luisa DiTrapano (Cy), Lia DiTrapano Fairless (L.J.) and brother, Dante’ diTrapano (Teri). He has numerous nieces and nephews, who were crazy about him and loved him dearly. He also had extended family and many close friends in Italy.

In 2006, Gian founded New York Tyrant Magazine, a literary journal which garnered a substantial cult following. In 2009, the magazine transitioned into Tyrant Books, an independent publisher which he single-handedly ran from his apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, until partnering with Fat Possum in 2013.

In a rave review for Steve Anwyll’s debut novel, Welfare, in 2019, the @washingtonpost said, “Tyrant Books, an indie publisher of exacting left-of-center fiction, has recently stepped to the forefront of progressive literature.”

Scott McClanahan said, “In the years to come, it will be acknowledged, Gian helped shape and change the literary culture of the 21st century.”
In Gian’s own words, “Tyrant stuff isn’t for everyone, but nothing should be for everyone. Or at least nothing that’s worth anything. You know what’s for everyone? Water. Water is for everyone.

And if you’re publishing something for everyone, well, you’re publishing water.” Gian’s vision was unequaled in contemporary American literature.
Gian was charming, stylish, compassionate, intelligent, personable, generous, carefree, sweet, hilarious, occasionally reckless, and full of love and light. He lived life to the fullest.

Anyone who was fortunate enough to know him and spend any amount of time with him ended up loving him. He was blessed with many friends who loved him and whom he loved. You know who you are.
Stay gold, Ponyboy.
