RIP Kurt Vonnegut

[grady]

Dead at 84.

[testudo]

Very sad... I saw him a few months ago walking outside my work... VERY sad

[adam]

Great man gone.

and in another universe, fans mourn the loss of Kilgor Trout. which is strangely just as tragic to me

"rest eternal grant him, o cosmos, and let not light perpetual disturb his harmless sleep" ;-)

he was a good 'un, that one. still my favourite writer.

[Strangelet]

the last lines of the last poem at the end of the last published book....

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.

[Rog]

top writer IMHO.....
