Oscar Hijuelos & Ulf Linde RIIIIP: Eye Wind and Seat # 9.11

The Deaths in 2013 lists under October 12th:

• Oscar Hijuelos, 62, American-born Cuban novelist (The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love), winner of Pulitzer Prize (1990)
• Ulf Linde, 84, Swedish art critic, writer, museum director, and member of the Swedish Academy

These two individuals share something in common other than the day they died.  Note the following from Oscar's wiki page: 

Oscar Jerome Hijuelos (August 24, 1951 – October 12, 2013) was an American novelist.

His birthday of August 24th is one off from my grand daughters birthday of August 25th, hence an addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster.

Note the following that stood out from Ulf Linde's wiki page:

 Linde succeeded the writer Eyvind Johnson toSeat No.11.^[2] 

The name Eyvind Johnson is interesting on two accounts, for one there's the prefix of Eyvind re "Ey" which reminds me of the recent "Eye Malady" pattern-cluster.  The name Eyvind is "Eye wind" which is essentially the same as the word "window" the etymology of which is "wind eye":

window (n.) early 13c., literally "wind eye,"...

But it's Eyvind's surname that serves as an addition to the "John..." pattern-cluster.   And then there's the Seat No. 11, which falls into the "Identical Number Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Note the following excerpt from Eyvind Johnson's wiki page:

Eyvind Johnson (29 July 1900 – 25 August 1976) 

He died on my grand daughters birthday, hence an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster.  Note as well, this next excerpt:

The choice for Johnson and Harry Martinson in 1974 was controversial as both were on the Nobel panel themselves and Graham Greene, Vladimir Nabokov, Saul Bellow and Jorge Luis Borges were the favoured candidates that year.^[1]

What stood out in the above, was the surname "Greene", given my grand daughters middle name being "Greenlee".  I decided to investigate each of the 4 mentioned, note the following in particular from Jorge Luis Borges wiki page:

Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges (24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986) 

Note his birthday... August 24th AGAIN!!  And then his date of death is one off from my birthday of June 13th!!  There's also his name, Jorge, being an addition to the "George/Jorg/Yorg/Farmer ..." pattern-cluster. and his middle name Francisco being an addition to the "Frank/Francisco/Fanny..." pattern-cluster.   There's much more... all you have to do is go to Vladimir Nabokov's wiki page and check out the significant dates there.
