The flags should be at half-mast for one of the greatest writers of our time. Of course, he would have hated just such a gesture. Thank you for a great post.
Kurt was and is a favorite author of mine growing up. His imagination and outlook on life were so unique. You started hating the hero of his book and only wound up being profoundly touched by how life can turn things around. How the useless and idiotic things turn out to be the most beautiful and incredible. God rest you well Mr. Vonnegut, you touched a generation with your words.
I read recently that Kurt wrote so that others would not feel alone. He liked to tap into the deeper psyche and verbalize the inner thoughts that most of us have but would never express.
Thankyou for a great post. An island of reality in a sea of celebrity nonsense puts it all into perspective.
RIP Kurt.
One of the great common sense talkers of our time. He will leave a big hole in the psyche of America. RIP Kurt.
What a wonderful post CB
Vale Kurt

Thank you for a wonderful post about one of America’s best. I was glad to see this on your site, it only confirms why this is my favorite gossip blog.
My favorite book by him is Breakfast of Champions. I can’t get the beginning out of my head and I read it years ago.
