Context: This discrepancy affects the timeline of events; if he died in 2024, it would be less than a year ago as of 2024, but 'nearly two years ago' suggests an earlier death, potentially in 2022 or 2023, which could confuse readers about the recency of his death and the publication of Hustvedt's memoir.
