God Bless You, Mr Vonnegut

For someone I never met, Kurt Vonnegut sure played a huge part in forming my view of the world. His death at 84 really hit me last night so I felt obliged to say a public goodbye. So it goes.

Yes, so it goes, Billy Pilgrim. So it goes.

Thanks for posting this.

I have to agree with you about forming my view of the world as well.

Sail on Kurt, wherever you are.

Ken,

I agree, I woke up yesterday morning, saw the headlines and felt like I had lost a good friend. Kurt's writing style combined with his down to earth nature really made it feel like you were having a conversation with the narrator. The best compliment I can pay the man is the regret I felt whenever I devoured one of his books too fast. They were meant to be savoured and conjured up a world that was incredibly beautiful and tainted at the same time. good bye Rabo, Billy and Mr. Rosewater. Thanks for everything.
