Kurt Vonnegut, RIP....

[Jeff Craddock]

One of my favorite writers died recently. So it goes.

From the last thing Vonnegut wrote:

"When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
“It is done.”
People did not like it here."

Oh My, I had not heard. Being in college in the late sixties early seventies, Mr. Vonnegut certainly was a favorite of mine.

RIP Kurt.

Everything is beautiful, and nothing hurts.

The notice of his death took me by surprise. The obit made it sound semi-accidental.

Reading Vonnegut made a difference in how I saw the world. I liked his son, Mark's book "The Eden Express" v much also. Read it more than once.

When my older son was 16 he had a publishing company called Dresden Records inspired by Slaughterhouse Five :cool:
