Kurt Vonnegut Is Dead

Kurt is dead.

I just found out.

This is what I feel like:




I'm not clever enough to say anything that would sum up this man's work, let alone his life, so I'll just crib from the Times which in turn cribbed from the man himself.

FROM THE NY TIMES article:

To Mr. Vonnegut, the only possible redemption for the madness and apparent meaninglessness of existence was human kindness. The title character in his 1965 novel, “God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater,” summed up his philosophy:

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’ ”



Bye bye Kurt.
